This is really worrying me now as the Vodafone deals are horrible. Many chose MPD only because it worked out about the same/cheaper to get it on T-Mobile over 18 months as it would to buy it SIM free. Getting it later than Nokia online then being told it will be more expensive than agreed upon........ Personally, I can't afford to buy it outright but if I have to choose Voda I am not sure I can afford it at all. I mean come on, the deal I chose on T-Mobile: £20/month (200 mins) for 18 months, £86.99 up front. Vodafone: £20/month (75 mins) for 18 months, £183.99 up front. (I can't afford this) I would have to choose: £20/month (300 mins) for 24 months , £167.99. or £20/month (75 mins) for 24 months , £93.99. Both of those are pathetic and nomatter which I choose, its costing me a lot more money for a lot less service.
