Is Vodafone misleading customers about switching?
I was told by Vodafone that if I switched to the much less expensive Lebara- which uses the same network - my data speeds would be in the 'slow lane', call quality would be worse and customer service abysmal. There was a risk also that I would lose the number I've had for 26 years in the porting process, she said. Really?…

Vodafone PAYG1 is now PAYG £2 - Rip-off
I wonder how many people on PAYG1 haven't be informed that it all changed on the 11th December! Some of us are used to getting "promotional" texts for Big Value bundles, but if you're a low user you probably, like me, ignore them until such time as you know you're going to want 30 days worth of use.
