Saw this from T-mobiles UK site

For the Desire:

This phone needs our Internet Booster, giving you unlimited internet.

Clever phones like this needs the internet for their 'always-on' internet connection, internet will be included in your price plan, so you can choose a different Flexible Booster.

another thing to remember about vodafone, in order for vodafone to have the right to sell iphones, vodafone had to increase the iphone data fair usage to 1gb were other phone contracts users only get 500mb...

Worked for me, Just been on phone with voda cancellations and they said yes you are allowed to cancel if this change will increase your bill by more than 10% email or write in and we will sort it.
Email already sent, giffgaff here i come, no fair use policy at all from now on.

If you cancel the contract then surely you cannot be bound by it's terms?

What fee? There is no termination fee etc...
If vodafone amends the contract, its their responsibility... We just do not agree to the new contract, and give them 30 days notice..

The mobile phone supplied to you is not in the agreement. Agreement only has minutes, text, internet, vodafone passport, and all those services you took with them...:D

If we are eligible to cancel the contract due to any of the clauses in 11.2, we only will have to pay for the rest 30days' notice period. thats it:eek::eek:

since they will also be selling the iPad, you can imagine that the data usage VF see is gna go through the roof! so perhaps they are trying to stablise the smartphone as they realise the potential the iPad will have on their network!

all CSA's at vodafone I spoke to, since Saturday, have been telling me to wait until I get official notice of the change...

Also, one more thing, we dont have to wait for them to tell us under which clause of the contract we can cancel the agreement..

vodafone is trying to minimize its upcoming loss by spreading a rumour that only those who went over 500MB last/this month could be eligible for cancellation... They tend to draw everyone's attention only to that particular clause... BAD MOVE:D:D

Re: Attention all N900 Vodafone users in the UK!
 
what I dont understand is:
Home broadband is approx £20 (10mbps), you get WAAAY over 40GB per month.... - ive even been to nearly 300
50p per GB in this case (rough figures)

Vodafone one is £5 - you get 0.5GB...
got it yet?? yeah thats £10 per GB

A fair deal would be at least 3-4GB....

*Internet on your phone comes with a fair use policy of 3GB a month. We'll monitor how much you send and receive each calendar month so that we can protect our network for all our internet on your customers. If you use more than your fair use policy amount, we won't charge you any more, but we may restrict how you can use your plan, depending on how often you go over your amount and by how much. As your phone is always connected to the internet, if you remove your internet on your phone Plus Booster from your account you'll automatically be charged up to £1 every day. That £1 a day rate has its own fair use policy and other legal stuff, which you can see here: t-mobile.co.uk/services/uk/fairuse/#fup5.
THIS is what I call fair usage...

I'm moving to t-mobile with an htc desire as soon as I cancel this....
