We discussed in the last post about the launch of iPad launch in the UK and its cost as compared to the ones in USA. In the same post, we also told about the Orange pricing plan. Lets have a detailed look at it.

The plan that was revealed by Apple for the iPad usage in UK, includes a novel pay-for-what-you-use scheme.

The key plan bills data at a rate of five pence per megabyte up to a monthly maximum of £40. That’s 800MB.

Orange will also offer daily and weekly one-off connectivity. A day’s surfing costs £2 and gives you 200MB of data. A week’s bundled access will set you back £7.50 and give you a 1GB allowance. Exceed those limits and you’ll be billed at the 5p/MB rate.

To up the limit, you can go for a £15 or £25 monthly deal which come with, respectively, 3G and 10GB of data plus ‘unlimited’ – 750MB, in fact – Wi-Fi hotspot browsing though BT Openzone. Again, bust the limit and you’ll pay 5p/MB for the excess.

Activate any of these plans and we’ll give you £10 credit, Orange said.

Orange said it will take orders for the micro Sim cards the iPad uses on 10 May – the day Apple UK starts offering pre-orders.
