Quidco: £150 cash back on Vodaphone

Nearly, very nearly cracked and signed up to a Vody contract, BUT they've changed their internet from unlimited to 500mb cap which means they just rape your bank account if you go over rather than simply restricting your speed like before.

Looks like T Mobile for me then :(
 
The 500mb cap has been in place ever since they launched 'unlimited' internet - I've abused it heavily over the years and never been hit with additional data charges.

Indeed its not a cap, and they dont enforce it unless you are going mad with it.

That was true when the claimed it was unlimited, now if you browse the site it simply says 500mb. If you go over they will also charge you a daily rate.

They changed it about a week ago.

Hi Padhraig,

The Packages are 500MB and not unlimited, the unlimited packs have now been updated to the new 500MB limit.

On this new pack if you do go over the 500MB limit you will then be charged at the daily rate for data however, I wouldn't worry I personally have used a lot of data for Emails, internet browsing, and downloading applications on a blackberry and never gone over this.

It does give you a lot but even then £1 a day for an extra 25MB isn't a bad deal.

Edit // I believe if you managed to pick it up well it was still unlimited then the old FUP still applies, it's only the newer contracts the start charging.

It's the same right across the board in the mobile industry. Orange call 750mb "unlimited." All companies call 3000 text "unlimited" and also call 3000 landline minutes with a cap of an hour per call "unlimited."

Seems like a good change to me, calling 500mb 'unlimited' was disgusting.

I wouldn't call it disgusting. The only time I've gone over 500mb was when I was using my Magic tethered to my laptop because I didn't have access to the internet, and I'm constantly using 3G on my Magic to read the news, watch video clips etc and I've yet to go over 500mb.

Anyone confirm this works with the iPhone? I'm not sure it would.

Luckily for me my Voda contract is still 500mb unlimited so i wouldnt get charged for going over the limit..saying that i dont even use the contract..still got another yr or so to run on it but have taken it down to £15 a month and will just let it run its course.
 
I'm thinking of getting the Desire using this :) as I don't want to go for a redemption thing.

Looks pretty good but it's a shame they don't do the £25/m on a 18month contract :( otherwise I would have bought one straight away.

Am just looking at the data plans on other networks and it seems orange is 500mb aswell.

No it isn't. Although I agree with you saying that "500mb is unlimited" is disgusting, if you were on an 'Unlimited' contract they couldn't charge you went over, only restrict your speed. Now there is a hard 500mb limit they can charge you if you go over!!
 
Least VF are being honest now about data.

I just wish the mobile companies would offer more data friendly tariffs as i'm happy paying 45pm, but i'd want 2gb data and would quite happily sacrifice the thousands of minutes of calls or texts for it because i just don't need them.
 
Does anyone actually use more than 500mb a month? I use my n95 on the net each day looking at email, bbc news etc and have never ever done more than 100mb in a month.
 
does using the new google maps sat nav app eat up the bandwidth ??? my wife uses the sat nav on the desire for about an hour or two each day
and after reading all this 500mb lint I am getting worried
