HTC Desire Vodafone 500mb Fair Usage Policy

Yolina

Congrats on getting banned from the VF eForum I'm also on "borrowed time" on there (had 3 warning weeks ago and been told that they *should* have banned me but they gave me an extra warning, next strike and I'm out though)

Edit: email them back and ask them why they're not being consistent with banning lol

Edit 2: this is what they sent me:

Unfortunately we’ve had to remove your post from the forum today as your post contravenes the eForum terms & Conditions. On this occasion, we are going to issue a third and final warning, which is one more than we normally would. If you post in this manner again, we will permanently suspend your ability to post on the eForum. We understand your frustration, but the eForum is, at heart, a technical help forum and this type of content is not appropriate and will be removed in accordance with the terms & conditions.

Yours sincerely

Now that's totally unfair, can you access it from your phone if you don't use you eForum log on?

Banned? How do they stop you even viewing it? Logging in yes, but entirely banned? That's ridiculous.

Personally i wouldn't post in the same way you have done, but then on the other hand if they do that to enough people it's more likely to draw attention to the fiasco

Since you can no longer visit their forums for 'advice and support' are they willing to cancel your contract? After all, they've made it quite clear you're not wanted... Hey, it's worth a shot

can someone, just help me rationalise, what this actually means, as am starting to get mudled up again:(. -
"You will not be able to terminate unless we have sent you a notice of
our intention to charge you for out of bundle data usage. If after
receiving this notice you feel that this has increased your total usage
charges by more than 10% then you will need to write to us informing us
that you want to terminate your contract.We then review any termination requests in line with the 10% increase on
an individual basis"
1)so what this means is basically, should they decide, to charge me 5pound , for every extra, 500mb, i use outside my 500mb, fair usage, i can then cancel. Also i never have any extra charges, at all on my vodafone bills, since a year ago, i always pay, 35 pounds a month, and am always careful, so this means, i will definatly be affected.
2)I have already recieved, a warning about going over, so i should just continue, caning it as usual, or there are other sneaky bits i should be aware of.
3) Also if this month, i use 750mb, then next month, i use below, the 500mb, then the following i use 1,5gb, what impact will this have on me cancelling?. my maths, is not very good, so a charge, of lets say 5pounds, for an extra 500mb, is over 10%, hey?.

I can access it, provided I'm not logged in, seems very petty.

Just seen this on the roaming charges thread on the eforum:

http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/topic/60376-vodafone-roaming-charging-changes-question-thread/page__view__findpost__p__412057

Hi guys,

To clarify the points that have been raised here, I'll bullet-point them below

The new roaming charges took effect on the 15th of June, as per the details here.
These changes only affect people using Mobile Internet on your phone. Users of Mobile Broadband are unaffected.
Roaming, as a service, does not form part of your contract - this is why you will not find roaming costs listed in your price plan, or terms and conditions, and why you are charged for roaming as an entirely different rate on top of your price plan. As such, the 10% rule does not apply, and you will not be able to use these changes as leverage for early termination of your contract without fees. If you disagree with the new charges, then simply disable data roaming on your handset.

Sounds like the mythical FUP "standard rate"
