I'm a giffgaff VIG.

That means free calls, texts and data for me.

I signed up to Vodafone contract too ( via MPD). 600mins, 250 texts and unlimited internet.

Apparently, someone working for Vodafone said something along the lines of "if you go beyond your monthly cap (e.g. 500mb limit but you use 700mb) some months that is fine.

However if you consistently do it every month and use way beyond the capped rate then Vodafone will ask you to do something about it - either reduce your usage or sign-up to a different data plan (e.g. 3gb for 15 a month - also allows tethering and voip)

I wish I can find the source of this information but cannot remember where I saw it. If I find the source I will edit this post.

Aha I found this link.

I asked in store too, only to be told by a very rude woman that she's "worked there for two years, and has never seen anyone exceed their limit"
Apparently "even buisinessmen using blackberrys never go near the limit"

So she can't understand that a poweruser with an N900 can use more data than a man in a suit sending and recieiving 10kb+ IMAP emails all day?

heretics, the lot of 'em. Rant over.
... they really do not understand the n900 yet ... every person I've spoken to from vodafone has told me how unlikely it is that I'd exceed my limit, even after I'd told them I'd used near 500mbs within a week of getting the phone ...

... when I spoke to one of the mods from their eforum even he was saying how much further a mobile plan goes than my dongle plan as "your mobile phone views cut down versions of webpages that don't use nearly so much bandwidth as your computer" ... I spent the next half hour telling him just what the n900 does, and how it's just as capable of viewing the full internet as my computer, and absolutely nothing like his iphone ... when I left the poor blokie he was seriously considering ditching his iphone in favour of an n900 ...

... the general consensus fom the eforum mods is that if you stick within 1GB you probably won't get any hassle from Vodafone (although they aren't actually saying that officially) ... the official stance is that if you regularly exceed the 500mb limit then you will be invited by vodafone to either switch to their 3GB or 5GB plans or will be charged for any excess ...

... incidentally iphones on vodafone contracts are on a 1GB hard limit ... if they exceed their limit they are automatically charged ...

Pretty much what I got in the shop, but nowhere near as snotty, and without the helpful bit. I kept trying to explain the stupidity of giving an N900 the same allowance as my sister's LG KP500, but she kept repeating the same line -

"I think we know our own products, sir..."

Three problems with that -
1. It's not your product. It's Nokia's.
2. You don't even have the N900 instore.
3. You clearly DON'T know bugger all.

Nice to hear that you've converted another iPhone sheep, though! Well done.

I'm just a little bit confused!

When I bought My n900 from MPD the advertised deal was Vodafone: 600min, 250 texts & unlimited internet access.

I have signed-up to Vodafone's online billing and services page and they show: 700 minutes + 250 Texts with Mobile Internet and Vodafone Passport !??

Which plan do I have? I already called "customer support" and they seem to give me different answers depending who I speak to!

After a month with firmware updates, some program downloading but no streaming or anything, it turned out that a 100MB plan is simply not enough for the N900. I'm hardly using this thing to it's extent and I passed 200MB.
