Ouch! double ouch.

Re: Attention all N900 Vodafone users in the UK!

What if I bought my contract knowing that I am likely to use large ammounts of data after I leave university (and lose access to their internet facilities) but thus far havn’t used over 500mb? I finish uni this month, and I know i’ll be using more than 500mb, but last month i only used 300mb! How can they say they base the next 19 months of my contract on the previous 30days usage? what if someone was abroad that month! its ridiculous! I need to cancel!

Re: Attention all N900 Vodafone users in the UK!

I have checked my bill, every month i'm going just over 1gb, so does this mean under 11.2 I can cancel the contract? If so... do I also get to keep the phone?

voda need to sort this out, i will not accept the new t&c so its up to them what they do after that.

This is my issue, if this 10% clause is used they are punishing users that have not abused the system and letting people that have, get out of their contract!

I have always used Wifi were possible mainly cos its faster but i didnt want to go near the limit. i have pretty much turned of anything that access the net. Now work have switched off the wifi (not impressed) so i will be mainly using the wap through the day now. i listen to internet radio all the time so am keen to see what my data usage will be like now

Re: Attention all N900 Vodafone users in the UK!

I'll be doing this too buddy... Also, I'm going to knock up a letter for their cancellation team tonight...

Should that not work, it'll be a small claims court for me!

If that £5 charge is at least 10% of your ordinary bill ( i.e if you normally pay less than £50 per month for your tariff) then this change to the contract, by vodafone, means that you are affected by more than 10%. This SHOULD mean you can then cancel your contract under the clause mentioned above.

My wife and I are both going to try this and see what happens. My wife wants a new phone ( fed up with her HTC magic) and I wouldn't mind getting a nice, cheap, sim only deal to use on my n900 until it's time that a reasonable successor to this great device appears.

P.S. If I am wrong on any of my assumptions then someone please correct me:)

Re: Attention all N900 Vodafone users in the UK!

if they change it,
argue on 11.2(a)

Quote:

we don't do something fundamental that we should have done under this Agreement within 7 days of you asking us in writing;

ask them to revert it back and if they dont,

then its (d)

Quote:

we change this Agreement to your significant disadvantage including the change or withdrawal of Services (we will tell you if this is the case) and you write to us within one month of us telling you about the change. This does not apply where the change relates to Services which can be cancelled without termination of this Agreement.

you could also argue on the fact that they gave 14 days' notice rather than 28 days (somewhere in the t&c)....

People who have exceeded 500mb last month/this month will just have an advantage of 11.2(c)

Re: Attention all N900 Vodafone users in the UK!

Actually, one could also argue on 11.2(b), because right now its counted by MB.. (50p or so for something), but later, it will be £5 straight away...

This thing is interesting.... We got all 4 points to argue on!!!!

Re: Attention all N900 Vodafone users in the UK!

So when is the TXT's coming, anyone had one yet?

i dont even know if this will apply to me...

i had a 18month deal with MPD

75 mins
250 txts
£25.54 + vat a month (£30)

sure it was unlimited internet,... well... i do about 800mb a month anyways...
