No, they're not. Currently, users can have 100MB per day for free, this is ending in October.

It's not like blyk. It's not ad supported.

Re: Attention all N900 Vodafone users in the UK!

Now VF say we have to PROOF to them that our bills will go over by 10%.

So what does PROOF actually mean then?

Re: Attention all N900 Vodafone users in the UK!

WiFi is always Unlimited! I dont know why they put a limit on WiFi. WiFi is just your ordinary wireless broadband connection!

These limits are for things like Openzone and The Cloud etc.

Proof = just calculate your bill, add the extra charge that they want you to pay, and if it's 10% or if it exceeds 10%, then BINGO, you're off! :) This applies to me too, so I'm currently doing the happy dance!

Re: Attention all N900 Vodafone users in the UK!

UPDATE:

I got the following email fron the Directors Office

Quote:

Dear *******

Thank you for your e-mail requesting the cancellation of your account.

You will not be able to request to terminate unless you have received one of these text messages from us:

From Vodafone: To let you know you’re nearly at the end of your monthly data allowance of 500MB. If you need to use additional data there will be a charge of £5 incVAT per 500MB , however we won’t start charging until 1 October 2010. To stop these alerts, text STOP to 40506

From Vodafone: To let you know you’re nearly at the end of your monthly data allowance of 1GB. If you need to use additional data there will be a charge of £5 incVAT per 500MB , however we won’t start charging until 1 October 2010. To stop these alerts, text STOP to 40506.

From Vodafone: To let you know you’re nearly at the end of your daily data allowance of 25MB. If you need to use additional data there will be a charge of 50p incVAT per 25MB , however we won’t start charging until 1 October 2010. To stop receiving these alerts, text STOP to 40506.

If after receiving this text you wish to cancel, you will need to send us written notification that you intend to terminate your contract and proof of why you think your bill will be increased by more than 10%. This must be sent to us in writing before the charges are introduced. Please send your written notice to: Vodafone UK Ltd., Vodafone House, The Connection, Newbury, RG14 2FN.

Once received, we'll assess your request and let you know if it's possible to cancel or not.

Kind regards

I made the relevant section bold and underlined*

So today they are getting a second letter by special delivery, with my [ast 3 months bills (even though they say only one is needed)
and a copy of the text saying I will get charged £5 next month if I go over again, and "whoops" I ignored the text and downloaded another 400Mb afterwards so they will definately be adding the £5 on the 1st

According to the email above they will then accept the cancellation without penalty.?

Re: Attention all N900 Vodafone users in the UK!

Finally received the text from VF saying,
"to let you know you're nearly at the end of your monthly data allowance of 500MB. If you need to use additional data there will be a charge of £5 incVAT per 500MB, however we won't start charging until 1 October"

Im at the 400MB usage right now in a couple of days im sure il have hit well over 500MB. In the mean time i think il start preparing a letter to cancel my contract without ETF.

Re: Attention all N900 Vodafone users in the UK!

so has anybody out there managed to successfully cancel their contract?
