I read somewhere that there are no data charges for this, yet I just got a text stating that I've exceeded 70% of my allowance for the month. Mobile TV is the only data I've used today.

So is it free or not?
Does it work with "internet.telecom.co.nz" APN or do you have to use another one?

Thanks.

I'm not sure whether it's free or not. The usage meter under T-World is not counting it, but the one on Your Telecom is. I received a usage alert stating that I'd gone over 70% of my allocation, but the usage is not showing on my itemised bill.

As for APNs, I didn't need to change anything; I'm using the defaults on my SE W705a (I can't say which APN that default actually is though).

@behodar The usage for the MobileTV service is FREE. This means that the data used as part of this service is not part of your data plan. Not sure why the online usage meter is showing different from T-World but will look into this.

@JarrodM The reason we removed some handsets from the available list was that the quality of video on these handsets was not up to the level we wanted.

You don't need to change any APN settings on your handset to get this service to work.

yes....the iPhone cannot use this service.

You guys must want good quality then. Is there any plans to bring them back?

@bluey, MobileTV is not available on a computer. Only selected handsets.
