New Vodafone data tariffs 'slash mobile internet charges by half'

Link: Vodafone slashes mobile internet charges by half – Independent Online Edition > Business News

This interesting news appeared on UK newspaper The Independent website today. Vodafone have apparently kicked off a ‘price war’ by introducing a flat-rate mobile broadband tariff of £25/month. Although the article says that the ‘fair use’ limit has been raised, it doesn’t say exactly what the new limit is.

There’s also news on a new tariff for roaming data users.

In order to capture more roaming revenue, the company has also introduced a tariff that charges contract customers £8.50 for a 24-hour session to use data cards abroad. It has also doubled the amount of data that subscribers to its £95-a-month Mobile Broadband Travel tariff can use, while increasing the number of networks on to which those customers can roam.

Will be interesting to see the response in the coming weeks from the other mobile operators, especially T-Mobile and Three.
