I started my Nokia N900 contract 6 days ago.
£35 a month, 24 month contract.
600 minutes, 500MB internet, unlimited texts - all explicitly stated.
The guy in the shop also told me that I would be charged a maximum of 50p per day if I go over the download limit - that is effectively £15 a month extra for actual unlimited usage. (Unless they take other action to ensure fare use.)

On further investigation the lady told me - they are now enforcing the 500MB allowance on all their customers. Apparently the 500MB allowance was in the contract since "always". As a lot of people are now using more than 500MB they are starting to crack down.
I explained to her that the N900 is an internet tablet and breathes internet and 500MB is not enough. Her rebuttal was that most users dont go over 500MB . Anyway further discussions with her led to no where.
Her audacity to repeat the point "we offer unlimited upto 500MB" - which I pointed out is logically impossible - its like saying you have unlimited calls up to 500mins.
So once you go over 500MB the charges are as below:
£5 for the next 500MB.
This is to go live 1st June 2010.
Btw the iPhone users of vodafone get 1GB allowance. Bastards.

Today i flashed my phone to the latest version (one i hasten to add that voda havent even managed to release in the uk yet!) I had to reinstall ALL 67 of the apps i have on my n900. thats got to eat up quite a bit of data right?
I wonder, are Vodafone going to be prepared to reimburse us every time we upgrade to the next release and have to reinstall all our apps after a flash?
PR1.2 for example, i can imagine thats going to a pretty hefty download??

this sucks im glad i went with o2 there limit is 3gb on fair usage. if there are limits to such services then it shold be displayed up front not hidden im sure a lot of people would chose otherwise knowing about the limit.

Have you been charged for using >500MB data yet?
on a side note did everybody know that when vodafone say unlimited texts they actually mean 3000 texts

hope these links are allowed! although I would only get a voda contract if u HAVE to, as they have been a big let down 4 me.
