iphone4

Hi

two days ago I got an iphone4 16GB

its on a 2 year contract £42 a month (with VAT)

standard uk text 250
calls to uk mobiles and landlines starting 01/02/03 etc...900
calls to UK landlines..... starting 01/02/03 etc.....3000
uk mobile phone internet usage 750MB
uk-Wi-Fi 1GB

the guy at vodafone probably did explain but could someone tell me what this all means

ok I know I get 250 text a month and 900 minutes of calls to mobiles and landlines

but I'm confused at the other reference to landlines (3000)
and whats the difference between internet and Wi-Fi

sorry for the techi illiteracy

oh and I've just read today that the iphone 5 will be out soon...does anyone think I should have waited...I have got 7 days to change my mind

cheers

By internet, you mean Mobile WAP - to which you have the 750MB limit a month - enough for everyday surfing in my opinion.
By WIFI - they mean BT OPEN ZONES - which are at places like starbucks etc, and at these places you can use up to 1GB a month.
IF you have home wifi, use that and then its just you home internet limit.

With the iphone 5, i wouldn't worry, you will have to pay through the nose to get one.

[STRIKE]Do you meant that you have bought something that you don't understand? It is pretty clear what 3000 minutes to landlines are, but I have no idea how this works together with 1200 minutes allowance, i.e. where landline minutes get deducted first. You should have asked this when buying.[/STRIKE]

EDIT: I seem to have misunderstood the post about 3000 minutes.

and whats the difference between internet and Wi-Fi

WiFi is internet connection with numerous wireless routers - the same as at home. Some hotspots are free, some are not free. Some of those that are not free are included in your tariff. I think it's BT Openzone hotspots that are available with this tariff.

This looks like 900 minutes to landlines or mobiles and 3000 minutes to landlines. I have no idea how these two allowances work together. In fact it is a big mistake to buy anything from Voda over a phone. Even if it is clear at the time of buying, usually you get not what you expected finally. This time it was not clear even at the time of buying.
