Another Vodafone data update

This is what I was busy writing when I got a call from Jakub, Vodafone spokesperson…

£1,120 to buy me out of my existing contract commitment with Vodafone. I just called their terminations line to establish how it would work. The lady, to her credit, did her best to try and win me over — but she wasn’t able to do anything on data other than 500mb.

So it’s just over a grand to exit from my Vodafone deal. I already paid 20% of that, effectively, in my data charges for April. I’ll do as the terminations lady suggested and wait ’til August — then I can swap my price plan to 20 quid a month and bish, bash, bosh, I can retire the account.

I’ve decided the way ahead. I’m going hunting for a Nokia N95 8GB to use on 3. I’ll sell my E90 — useless on Vodafone if I can’t use it for data purposes properly — and I’ll get a small, simple Nokia business phone to make calls with.

I’ll write up the call in a moment. You might be surprised by the outcome. I was. I missed a fundamental element with the new price plans…
