    Tigersilly - did you take that deal or did you press ahead and insist on an 18 month deal?

    I work for vodafone so if any of you are looking for a good deal on an upgrade - let me know what you have at the moment, how much your bills are usually and what phone your looking for and i'll tell you what you can expect to get as the best possible deal!

    Hi. I'm a £20 a month 300 mins, unlimited text and internet.
    Phone broke, so really need a new one, anything decent would do.
    Need more minutes, would like unlimited landline, or the stop the clock (what exactly is that?). What's the best I can get?
    Thanks

    Has anyone else been given a limit on their wifii useage?? My OH has u/l and thinks it's very strange the offer I've been given of 500mb and not unlimited is odd.

    Well I've been had!! £50.89 charges on my account for calls I've supposedly made to a 'Road Watch' number.

    Just phoned them and they won't do anything - just said make an online complaint which is pointless as no-one ever answers online queries.

    I've cancelled the direct debit, should I have done that??? Def. can't afford £50 and then try and get it back!!

    No you should not, they'll destroy your credit rating and call in the debt collectors

    I'm in a catch 22.
    I just phoned them and there's no way they will drop the charges.
    They can spread the cost but , only if the DD is cancelled. Only then will the collections team get invloved and make the payments manageable.
    If I have a DD they can't do that.

    They went better than a price match with T-Mobile. I wanted to leave as I had a heap of problems with Vodafone, so I requested my PAC.

    Just want to warn people - the upgrade team may fail to mention that the contract they are offering is at a lower price for 21 months and then at a raised price at 24 months. The reason cited is that 'you can upgrade at 21 months' - so what!? if you choose not to then you are penalized. I think it's disgraceful to 1) Not inform people 2) To even have this rule in the first place.

    That said - thanks to Heidi at Vodafone for helping me with the issues I raised.
