    Vodafone company representative Lee,

    Are you still on here?

    I got my first bill today, VEA applied thanks.

    2 problems:
    1. One of the £10 goodwill credits was missing, so I've had a web chat with customer services, and I've been promised it on next month's bill. Hopefully will be resolved.

    2. Since about 30 mins ago, I have no signal, again. I don't have the strength or time right now to deal with vodafone customer services for the 5th time about this particular problem. "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network." This is despite me turning OFF 4G services at the request of vodafone tech support last week.

    I give up.
    Nothing is worth this amount of hassle.
    Thinking of returning the phone and cancelling the contract.


    UPDATE:
    Switched off phone, removed sim, restarted phone. I now have a vodafone signal. Having to do this every couple of days is really not an acceptable solution though. Not happy about having to switch off 4G either.

    Hi,

    I rang for my PAC code today, intending to change to another network due to my last deal coming to an end.

    I was offered the following:

    4G Sim
    unlimited minutes
    unlimited texts
    1Gb Data
    500 meg WIFI

    12 month sim only deal

    Cost per month £11

    I'm happy with that, and have taken the deal.

    Good luck everyone!

    David
    I got this also, except with a £20 bill credit. :p Nice and easy, saves messing around changing networks.
  • I have been offered 2 contracts on one call and another contract on another call. Both offered discount amounts. When the bill came I was charged full amounts. When calling 191, there is no record of the amounts I was offered. So am having calls transcribed. LOOK AT YOUR BILLS, they will do anything to get you signed up for another 24 months. Now I have the hassle of taking this further up the legal route. :mad:

    Hi all

    My partner's father just got (and accepted) 50% off a standard tariff, with virtually no haggling:

    - Free HTC desire 610 (and free delivery)
    - 600 mins
    - Ult texts
    - 500mb 3G data

    £13.25 per month, usually £26.50 per month.

    Can anyone advise whether the retention team call pay as you go customers? I know someone who was on PAYG but now want to get a deal through retentions.

    No, the retentions team contact people when they request the cancellation of their monthly contract.

    Ah, so once the PAYG customer gets their PAC code, that's that, they don't bother to try to keep you?

    Seems a bit short-sighted, given that in my partner's mum's case, she wants to move onto a contract with a new phone etc.
