They have done the same as Orange did last year, you might be able to get out of your Voda contracts now as they have amended the T&C's
1st march they have altered it to 60 second increments and minimum 1 minute call and price gone up 10p all calls too.

If your a Voda customer would suggest you look into it

7.2. We can make changes to or withdraw Services at any time and we can make changes to and/or introduce new terms to this Agreement at any time. We will give you at least 30 days notice of these changes if we do and you may have a right to end this Agreement under clause 11.

7.3. We may need to change your phone number or other number from time to time. We will let you know if this is the case.




11.1. Either of us may end this Agreement by giving the other 30 days prior notice in writing. Your notice must include your mobile number and the signature of the account holder. You must pay the Charges during the notice period.

(a) we don’t do something fundamental that we should have done under this Agreement within 7 days of you asking us in writing;

(b) we tell you that there will be an increase in the line rental charge by more than the increase in the Retail Prices Index ("RPI", calculated as a percentage) since the last line rental increase and you write to us before the increase takes effect;

(c) we increase your Charges in the UK which have the effect of increasing your total call and usage charges (based upon your usage in the previous month) by more than 10% and you write to us before the increase takes effect; or

(d) we change this Agreement to your significant disadvantage including the change or withdrawal of Services (we will tell you if this is the case) and you write to us within one month of us telling you about the change. This does not apply where the change relates to Services which can be cancelled without termination of this Agreement.

(c) we are permanently unable to provide the Services to you.

(a) we will disconnect your Mobile Device; and

(b) you will have to pay immediately all Charges outstanding at disconnection.

I've just called them. They dont know anything about the new tarrif from the 1st March! They also said that I would still have to pay my contract off.

Any advice?

If you are at a disadvantage then based on their T&C's I cannot see why you cannot cancel, although they do have the caveat in point 11.5. Not sure if this in enforceable though

I have this text as well. Very dissapointed as I roam quite often.

If you dont use the preffered network your calls will be cheaper but if you do, they will increase. Only a dunderhead wouldnt use the preffered network so fundamentally this is a price increase and calls made when roaming in the USA, where I intend to spend 2-3 weeks in a few months time, will now cost 10p a minute more.

They have not change any T&C as I can see (they were updated in 2008).

If they change a tariff - the "world" probably means vodafone passport - it would only impact a customer if they had used vodafone passport (so if anyone is affected they will probably send a text to say so).

Haven't had an email or text and I use Vodafone Passport....

mrluke

this does not apparently apply to passport customers , Applies to every one else
