Someone asked what the downloads would cost on their mobile. This will depend on each network and individual contracts, but typically:
ReplyDeletePay As You Go:
Data costs about £3 a Mb, so a wallpaper would cost about 20-40p. However many PAYG mobiles now have a data cost cap, so you can use the mobile internet as much as you like for around £1-£2 a day.
Contract
Data costs about £1 a Mb, so less than 10p for the download. Many contracts come with some monthly data, and for £5-7 you can get unlimited data.
