If that £5 charge is at least 10% of your ordinary bill ( i.e if you normally pay less than £50 per month for your tariff) then this change to the contract, by vodafone, means that you are affected by more than 10%. This SHOULD mean you can then cancel your contract under the clause mentioned above.

My wife and I are both going to try this and see what happens. My wife wants a new phone ( fed up with her HTC magic) and I wouldn't mind getting a nice, cheap, sim only deal to use on my n900 until it's time that a reasonable successor to this great device appears.

P.S. If I am wrong on any of my assumptions then someone please correct me

I bought my phone at a nokia retail store and no mention of a fair usage policy either verbally or in writing... at least at the end of the day i have the power to cancel my direct debit and i think as long as i send vodafone a comprehensive and sound argument in writing.. maybe just maybe ill get my contract cancelled.
