As Artona says if it's MB it's very little, a couple of updates could easily soak 20mn's up.

Hi FL

Those doing deals

vodaphone/T Mobile/Three

if you have a Three contract you can get the 3gb for £7.50. If you want to go payg then three have a deal in staples at the moment £49 (half price) for the gongle and then £15 a month for 3 gigs. This is a good way to go because if you accidently go over th ethe 3 gigs presumably they cannot charge you extra.

The BBC Iplayer I am sure it would work but streaming video uses a lot of memory

I imagine you bought 2GB paul. But check, If you are paying for 20MB then cancel now while you are in the cooling off period because it is a terrible deal.
