Vodafone recognises I am a good customer and offered me this special offer...

this is how the call went

"Hello can I speak to Thomas"

"speaking"

"can you confirm your number please"

"err, you rang me"

"well, err, it is for security"

"confirmed number"

"the reason I am calling you today is that Vodafone recognises you are a valued customer and we would like to offer you a special deal"

THINKING THAT THEY ARE CALLING ME TO UPGRADE ME FOLLOWING MY PAC REQUEST I SAID OK....

"We would like to give you a months free insurance"

"so what is special about that, technically you are flogging me insurance dressed up as a special offer"

"its a good deal"

phone went dead.

    Brilliant! They offered me the same for 3 months - I guess hoping I would forget to cancel.

    Are you sure it was Vodaphone that rang you and not a 3rd party using dubious sales techniques? Nothing in your post suggests they explicitly said they were Vodaphone, especially the "carefully" phrased "the reason I am calling you today is that Vodafone recognises you are a valued customer and we would like to offer you a special deal"!

    Nothing to say Vodafone and "we" are one and the same.
