that is ridiculous

any data that moves from one plce to another requires uploading/downloading

in this case you are uploading a 'data request' and subsequently downloading the 'data' from a server

you are gonna have to pay for that surely!

oh and on orange they do bundles for £4 for 4 meg a month (but there are bigger bundles which work out cheaper if you need that much) and then i think its £1 per meg afterwards
go for 3G and you could be d/l at 384kbps

I have all my internet access through orange in the u.k. I pay £45/mth for so-called unlimited usage (this is a 'fair usage/1000mb bundle) and belive me, you pay for up-loading, down-loading, everything! They do all sorts of up-front bundles and it works out from £1.50/mb right through to £0.05 depending on how much you pay for in advance. Unused mb dont carry over at the end of the month though.
If you want to send information to your car, call orange and if you pay the £10/mth for the answer fax service you will get a fax number for your phone,
once you have this call them back and pester them for hours until you get a data number. you can then dial out from your home pc and establish a direct modem connection for free. (except your landline will charge you by the second as a call to a mobile, can get expensive).
The other trick we tried was with the answerphone. On certain orange tarriffs voicemail calls are free and unlimited. If you can connnect a phone to your home pc and your car pc your car pc can call the answerphone and leave a message ie. tone dials, your home pc can then call up on an answerphone alert and retrive it and reply.
I had this working but it was of no real use, it would be good for home automation and the like but i would think that the answerphone could handle data messages and sombody who knew more about software could probbly work it out!
