reading that template letter, it doesnt mention the 10% rule, so would be ok for anyone to use it?! does anyone agree? or am I blind?!!

According to the Bitter wallet article they have breached the contract regardless just by not providing 30 days notice.

Personally I'll try to get my wife's contract cancelled too even though She's never used the internet.
She pays for it and has 13 months left of her contract, who are they to say she won't become a heavy user of the net in the remaining contract time.

Think I will also consider sending the letter, as I dont agree with the change they plan to make, if they were clever tho, they would just give 30 days notice.... that would negate that particular issue...

this is getting exciting.
im tired of being screwed by big companies.

as for PAC code just call them and ask for it. say you are cancelling your contract and would need a pac code asap. if they ask for termination feee etc just say i am writing a letter to vodafone but for now you can take my payment for any outstanding bills.

i got mine with MPD with 3 months free insurance. This insurance is provided by MPD so i'll have to cancel that with them.

I recommend T-mobile, very good 3g coverage in the uk, I have used web & Walk with a dongle before moving my contract from vodafone and while t-mobile do throttle your speed if you go over the fair usage, fair usage on web & walk used to be 3gb but might be 5gb now... the good thing about t-mobile is they never charge you if you go over the fair usage limit. web & walk is the package that comes with n900 (same as dongle package for a £5, but my web & walk package was free, on £20 month contract, 300 miunutes with 300 or 600 texts...).

Not only i manage to get the n900 cheaper then anywhere else, vodafone gave me an extremely hard time when i tried to leave and insulted my intellengence (as a long term customer) with an offer which was nowhere as good as t-mobile.
