T-Mobile has opened up its web'n'walk internet service to its pay-as-you-go handset customers today hoping to draw in more users.

The announcement, designed to open up the mobile internet to everyone, will give T-Mobile pay-as-you-go customers the ability to email and surf the web whenever and with complete control on costs.

T-Mobile has said that 1 kilobyte of data will cost under 1p however to encourage more use, the company is capping the cost of browsing to £1 a day for unlimited access if the customers is signed up to Mates Rates, Text Appeal and Everyone pay-as-you-go plans.

Users are not penalised for accessing the internet several times a day and spending less than £1 during each session, as the cost of each separate session counts towards the £1 threshold.

at last a mobile internet solution that doesn't take me to the cleaners! I've got access to the internet on my mobile phone (which is too small for me to work with for any length of time), broadband at home, but I'm not at home all the time, and I didn't need to be stung for another monthly payment for mobile internet. This is very convenient and will make such a difference to me professionally and personally. Well done. Posted by linda, uk
