hope these links are allowed! although I would only get a voda contract if u HAVE to, as they have been a big let down 4 me.

Re: Attention all N900 Vodafone users in the UK!
 

I started my Nokia N900 contract 6 days ago.

£35 a month, 24 month contract.
600 minutes, 500MB internet, unlimited texts - all explicitly stated.

The guy in the shop also told me that I would be charged a maximum of 50p per day if I go over the download limit - that is effectively £15 a month extra for actual unlimited usage. (Unless they take other action to ensure fare use.)

Re: Attention all N900 Vodafone users in the UK!
 

I called them up and they said the above message was sent because they sent the "you're reaching the end of your allowance" message prematurely to some customers. (im only 280MB into my allowance)

On further investigation the lady told me - they are now enforcing the 500MB allowance on all their customers. Apparently the 500MB allowance was in the contract since "always". As a lot of people are now using more than 500MB they are starting to crack down.

I explained to her that the N900 is an internet tablet and breathes internet and 500MB is not enough. Her rebuttal was that most users dont go over 500MB . Anyway further discussions with her led to no where.

Her audacity to repeat the point "we offer unlimited upto 500MB" - which I pointed out is logically impossible - its like saying you have unlimited calls up to 500mins.

So once you go over 500MB the charges are as below:

£5 for the next 500MB.

This is to go live 1st June 2010.

Btw the iPhone users of vodafone get 1GB allowance. Bastards.

Re: Attention all N900 Vodafone users in the UK!
 

That rate is currently true but no more. From 1st June the £5 for the 500MB will be practised.

Use wifi. They will not help you out.

Re: Attention all N900 Vodafone users in the UK!
 

hmm id love to get out of my voda contract, and this might help, there service is just aweful in my area and id love to get on 02

i bought the phone from nokia.com £20 a month free texts and 200 calls plus £5 per month unlimiter internet add on 12 months paid an extra £200 for the phone but think in total it worked out at about £550 if i dont go over allowances. if anyone has success cancling post here so others of us can do the same.

thanks

there is no sign of fair usage policy in the website...

Re: Attention all N900 Vodafone users in the UK!
 

i would seriously look into that if i was you. i was originally with o2 and was told that their fair usage limit was 3gb, later on however o2 cut me off for breach of fair usage and i was informed by their credit control department that o2 fair usage is actually only 200mb per month

Re: Attention all N900 Vodafone users in the UK!
 

i have gone over the 500mb unlimited data limit twice, once by a couple of hundred megs and once by a whole gig and i was charged for neither.

on a side note did everybody know that when vodafone say unlimited texts they actually mean 3000 texts
