I thought it might be worth doing a quick comparison of the major provider’s “fair use policies”. This is how they define “Excessive Use”.
| Provider | Fair Use Policy extract |
| Virgin Mobile | We consider that using more than 2500 free minutes per service each month on any mobile service is excessive use. We consider that sending more than 3000 SMS text messages per service each month on any mobile service is excessive use. We consider that using more than 1024 megabytes of data per service each month on any mobile service is excessive use. We will notify you if we deem your usage to be excessive, and in breach of our Fair Use policy and may ask you to reduce your usage. If usage continues at an excessive level following this request, we may refuse you access to our free or discounted offer and you will then be charged at our standard rates for your usage. |
| Crazy John’s | Excessive Use includes You or an Additional Mobile User (where applicable): (d) in the case of the Crazy Talk Bonus with Prepaid Crazy Plans, using more than 1000 minutes of calls per month or sending more than 2000 SMS per month; |
