Re: Attention all N900 Vodafone users in the UK!
 
Outside of the new limits is there any reason I shouldn't get an N900 on vodafone?

Next week I plan on getting one on vodafone on a £25/pm plan, 300 minutes, unlimited texts and 500mb data. Most of my usage will be campus wide wifi so the limit doesn't really bother me too much but seeing everyone cancelling their vodafone contracts is kind of disheartening.

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.

Make certain you send the letter BEFORE the next bill is produced

It is disheartening how VF are acting. See this also http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/topic/71...ost__p__467458

Have a look at your options here http://www.nokiadirect.co.uk/Pay-Mon...521/p26078.htm

Getting straight from Nokia Direct for £25 you could have that Vodafone offering, or alternatively you can get double the talktime minutes at 600, you get 500 texts and you get unlimited internet with a 1Gb fair use policy with T-Mobile.

You could alternatively go for O2 where £25 gets you 100 minutes, unlimited texts and it says unlimited internet but O2 are just starting to impose a 500Mb fair use policy also. It's unclear what will happen at this point what will happen if you exceed this apart from O2 saying you should pay more for bolt-ons (very similarly priced to Vodafone though).

T-Mobile is definitely offering the best package though for a new phone on a new contract. I'm cancelling with Voda though as they have treated me like sh..rubbish, I'm off to Three where I can get 1Gb for a fiver on a sim zero package then pay 10p for texts and 20p/min for calls as I rarely use the handset for calling or texting, Three has the best 3G network too in UK.

Yeah and I've seen your post on the Vodafone forum saying you are on the £10 deal sim only as you negotiated an upgrade instead of a handset. You know Voda won't let you transfer this deal across to the 1Gb upgraded plan? It does tell you in their announcement. I reckon you will be worse off if you cancel and you won't get moved to the 1Gb plan without losing all your discounts.

well my let5tr and email should now be with vodafone. just need to wait for reply now. I hope there's not too much hassle about it and I can go get a nice cheap sim-only deal somewhere, that I can cancel anytime I lke without hassle.....that is until I am tempted to get a deal with the new xbox kinect or something, when it comes out.

Bet you're kicking yourself for not going for the upgrade instead of a discount now? Have a look at 3 as you can get 1gb data, 100 mins and 3,000 texts for £10 per month sim only.

Vodafone are at it again, looks like there's another chance we can cancel.
