I have a dream
I intend to get a new contract when someone makes a decent phone, which seems to be pretty near, and it is provided on a decent service. By decent service I mean that if I listen to last fm I won't find out at the end of the month that I owe £16000. Given these provisos I am not anticipating ditching my current phone and committing to a contract until around 2020.

Very annoying, why is it that only new customers seem to reap the benefits? I can now get the same contract for £10 less a month if I was a new customer, yet for someone who has been with vodafone for some years, its a no no.

I will have to contact vodafone re the datacharges on my last bill. Just tried some everyday websites and I have not been charged for using them.

I hear so many complaints but 500MB seems fair for a mobile phone. This is giving to us FREE...
Without these types of limits many users would abuse the service. This is no good for anyone. Network operators don't have unlimited bandwidth as already demonstrated by other operators where internet is SLOW or capped. I prefer to have less MB's but with a fast & reliable service.

No, thats not right. The 120MB was for anything, and the 500MB is for anything. Check the link posted earlier in the thread, it links to vodafone forums and one of the staff saying the data is for anything.

Hold your horses, i wouldnt get to excited. The current plan which i have with my contract gives you 120mb under the old unlimited internet; However this only applies to wap sites or site designed for mobiles. As soon as you go onto a full blown web page, like that of which you would view on a pc or laptop, you will get charged.

I'm OK here - I am on the old "Anytime 200" tariff (200 shared any network minutes (2 handsets) and no inclusive texts and the add-on £7.50 data tariff.).
As part of this new contracts, I get upgraded to 500 minutes and 200 texts as well as increasing from 120Mb to 500Mb
All for the same money. Now although I take the point about "unlimited" data , I can hardly complain.
If Vodafone were a bank or building society, they'd leave me on the "old" scheme indefinitely.

Hi Julie,
Sorry but you are wrong as i have just got off the phone from VodaFone who have confirmed that i am now on the new price plan at the same spend pm. This was done in month 6 of a 12 month contract with no extension needed and no penalty either.
All it has cost me is some texts being removed from my plan also i have now been told that just like T-Mobile it is 500mb fair use Policy and the first time i go over it i will get a warning but incur no charges. Only if i then continue to go over the allowance will i get charged anything extra. As the calls are recorded and i have made a Calender entry of the time i feel quite safe it won't cost me anything extra.

Reading through the forum postings in the link above, Vodafone staff have confirmed that it is a "Fair usage" type deal, i.e. you won't be charged the instant you go over 500Mb unless you do it regularly, and they'll warn you first.
This is in line with landline Broadband Fair Usage policies.
Apparently, the 6 month extension to your contract only applies if you transfer to a tariff that wasn't available at the time you took out your original contract. There is no penalty if you transfer to an "old" tariff, and you can still add the £5 data plan to those.
Anybody already receiving 120Mb as part of their contract will automatically get shifted to the 500Mb Fair Usage data plan from this month. If you're paying £7.50 for data as an add-on, you can call them and get this changed to £5, but you have to continue to pay the £5 until the end of your contract. If you stick with £7.50, then you can stop paying the £7.50 for data at any time. Either way you get "Unlimited with 500Mb fair usage" instead of 120Mb and getting charged the instant you go over 120Mb.
(This is a quick summary of the information I've gleaned from reading through the forum postings.)

Unprofessional reporting
In my opinion title of this news is quite misleading reporting. Even the Vodafone press release doesn't argue it's unlimited data, but instead it's "unlimited" with asterisk and there's a clear note of the 500 MB/month limit.
For laptop users 500 MB/month is far from unlimited, and as unlimited is also available, I don't see the point for this kind of title.

I called Vodafone today to change to one of the new plans but was told that changing plans would add 6 months to my contract. But the 500mb allowance is being applied to exsisting customers who have the £7.50 data bundle already - Like me. So I'm not gonna change anything until the end of my contract period.
