I am pretty sure that isn't correct, as what would be the point of 11.2, you can pay a termination fee whenever you want, but could do with a little more information to go back at them with.

I normally record my calls to customer services, and at the end, I ask them if they will be happy if I use this phone call as proof later on...
Well, its not that I care what they reply, I just let them know, and then ask them to confirm again what they said.. llol, together with their name and dept

You should have asked him then whats the point of having a contract if they can amend it whenever they want, and just let customers know whats happening. ......

I just got an email from ASA, unfortunately they dont deal with online ads.. but tbh, i dont remember complaining to ASA:D, maybe out of stress yesterday i did it (other type of stress, not voda :p) .

KEEP COOL GUYS, LETS WAIT FOR THE TEXT MESSAGE..
We waited for PR1.2 for so long, I'm sure we can hold on a bit more:D:D
cancellation notices wont work at this moment, because our terms are still the same (YET)

I find it quite amusing actually that when I was speaking to the customer service guy, it was clear he was just reading a book and trying to answer my questions, and knew nothing of the terms and conditions I was quoting.

I honestly dont see how they can get out of this, without changing there minds and not changing our terms and conditions.

I actually quite like voda as a network, I always have full signal and its pretty fast, but I cant be having a limit on my data, I use it for allsorts inc skype

Big update, gentlemen!

Vodafone have made a press release about the new charges, and acknowledged that some users WILL be able to cancel their contracts.
Bitterwallet have kindly provided a template letter to send to the bastards.

How do you think this would effect getting a mobile contract in the future? I bet they will have some sort of database of people who have screwed them over. Not to mention a blot on your credit rating.
These companies always win and its just not right.. I hope this turns out to be an idea floated by Vodafone and they see sense before it actaully happens.

Nope, they're not going to go back on this, especially as they've just made the official press release.
If you don't cancel before the charges come into effect, they will take that as you accepting them and you'll be stuck.

It shouldn't affect your credit rating, as long as you haven't missed any payments so far. They're at fault, not you.

EDIT - I'll put this here too, to make sure people see it if they only see this page.

I havent been notified of the change to my contract so they arent valid in that sense

A press release that I know nothing about doesnt necessarily mean I have accepted the new terms of the contract

WHY the heck do they keep telling this:

500MB means you can read and reply to 10,000 emails, download 24 Google maps and read 8,000 BBC News stories.
who told them I only need it for email, maps and bbc?
I listen to internet radio
I am on facebook the whole day
I am on msn the whole day
I have RSS feeds
on top of a few email accounts, skype, etc...

Re: Attention all N900 Vodafone users in the UK!
 
No where in the press release does it mention the current FAIR USAGE POLICY...
Vodafone is trying to play the game in their favour (typical)...

It mentions "their upper limit", making customers THINK that that ACTUALLY IS their upper limit.... when it clearly is not...

This is called "introducing the upper limit" , not "letting customers know about the upper limit".. There IS NO upper limit currently in place
