    Hi
    I bought an iphone 3G for my brother for christmas. it's a credit paying phone so i paid €420 for it.
    its the 8GB one.
    I need to find out about internet usage. how much will it cost him to go on the internet? if a house has wireless internet, will he get it for free or will he need to top up his phone to use it?
    Also can he use the internet on his phone anywhere he goes?
    and finally im kind of regretting getting him the 8GB one, im worried he'll have wanted the iphone 3GS 16 or 32 GB. Can anyone tell me if the iphone 3g 8GB is anything as good as the iphone 3GS.

    MANY THANKS and happy chrsitmas :X

    1) It depends what network he is on? normally there is 99c charge for daily usage on payg upto 50mb. or he can have 30 day notice contract and can avail of data add-on (they are cheap).
    2)Wi-fi is free and he doesn't need to top-up to use it, ( No sim required)
    3) he can use internet wherever he goes but will be charged the above mention prices.
    4) 3g is good but ofcourse 3gs is much better, hence the price.
    3gs has better camera, much faster, video recording and few other bits and pieces.
