    That is one hell of a rocking deal! Was this some retention offer or one that anyone can access?

    Yes it was particially rententions partially I winged it big style :j I was looking to leave to go to Tmobile because they had a better deal with £25/mnth with umlimited browsing but decided to stay as i've been with them since university.

    Oh and i got 2months free line rental because of the problems I had with them to get to check whether I was on 500mb of 1GB because that was what was promised. Took them weeks to 'listen to a phone call' In the end a really good advisor checked everything and said oh in fact it is 1GB no need to listen to the calls, !!!

    You are actually paying them a total of just over £360 over the life of your contract. I doubt whether you can even get this phone upfront for £360 (let alone the 900 minutes and unlimited landline calls each month). Wonder what money Vodafone is making out of the deal they gave you :huh: Good for you though!

    Getting first 2 months rental free too, I can ring up in 12months and change again even though its an 18month agreement. I know awesome deal. I use loads of texts and ring landlines when I can get away with it so I dnt use my minutes. Plus, wanged a 4GB SD card too, BUT I have spent over 2 weeks on the phone for them to sort out everything, because I was told different stories each time and waiting for a callback because they had to listen to the calls, when in the end it was not needed because everything was done correctly from the start with regards to mins, GB etc. In the end I got extra SD card, phone free (because they charged me £30 to start off with) and 2 months free line rental. and had to cancel insurance because he jus added it on without even asking me if I wanted it!!

    Theyre prob not making anything out of me, but the rest of the family and relative they probably are and we have a BIG family, so its upset one member and the whole flock flyaway to Tmobile (only because my brothers girlfriend works for them)

    My contract is up in October, and I can't upgrade over the phone until 11th Aug.

    I tweeted VodafoneUKDeals and, after a e-mail and text, spoke to a guy on the phone.

    He offered
    Free Galaxy S II
    900m
    Unlim Texts
    750mb data

    18 months @ £26
    then 6 months @ £36

    Seems an ok deal to me, as I can upgrade again within the last 90 days, so probably won't end up spending the extra £10 for the full 6 months.
  • Hi,

    If anyone can help me then please do :(

    I have both google and yahoo mail set up, yet it is my yahoo mail that I have a problem with.

    My yahoo mail has been working great over the last few weeks however it has suddenly stopped delivering emails to my phone and no previously downloaded emails are being shown.

    I have deleted and set up the account again, then I receive a email but it disappears (not in another folders) before i can even read it!

    This is really frustrating so any help is much appreciated!!

    yahoomail app has been giving me problems too the last few days on my desire, so today had to use the browser to check my emails. so it is the app that is being faulty. try clearing the app cache etc but even that hasnt helped much. it has previously done this before but becomes ok soon. dont know if they have different servers serving the android apps.
    bubblesmoney :hello:
