hehehehehe !!! That'll teach people to read their t&c's before doing anything like that...if it states 120 MB then anyone with even the tiniest knowledge would realise they were WAAY over..serves him right and hope they don't let him off too lightly

LOL

whats that I hear.........2GB usage on 3's X-series gold for £10 a month

and I used 3.7GB last bill ( awaiting Orange replacement Livebox ) not a warning text, not a polite phonecall from 3, & not a penny charged over my £10 charge



Vodafone I maybe in dispute with you trying cancel my mis-sold contract from your authorised dealer & you are fully aware they mis-sold me it as the priceplan cannot exsist on your billing platforms - but it sure is good to be FR33 of you


wonders how much 3.7 GB would cost on Voda......


edit: JESUS CHRIST ! my 3.7GB usage on Vodafone for what services* I was using are excluded from the monthly 120MB & daily charge & would be £2 a MB !!

so thats £2048.00 per GB ! LOL that takes the !!!! out off even BT Wholesale pricing whom Vodafone resell on as Vodafone at Home, & I would be buying direct from Vodafone on thier infastructure with no third party to make some profit ???


*Using Skype &/or Windows Live/Yahoo messengers on your laptop/pc while surfing then Voda jump charge you 100% to £2 per MB instead of the usual £1 per MB & you are also excluded from using the £7.50 120 MB pack

There are still some real idiots about who should IMO be surgically separated from their rights to sign up for anything.

I wonder if Vodaphone would have been so sympathetic if the press hadn't got hold of this one!

what i dont get is what credit limit this guy has, i got my limit set at £50 so thats the max a month i can be charged, im not a big fan of the blame culture but you cant banckrupt somone cause of small print and no credit controls.
