That’s all fine, but what if you want 4g and you’re on a grandfathered plan but still in-contract?  Can you ‘upgrade’ to a new plan without getting hit with ETC and resigning for 24 months?

Aaroona: Am I right in assuming that my Smart 45 plan is now grandfathered? 

I have 4G free for 2 months according to my account, but unless I'm going blind, I actually cannot find my plan on the Vodafone website now...

If you have access to 4G now then it will stay free I am speaking about plans that were never eligible from day one

Alrighty sounds good... But it does say for 2 months only... is it an error? 

woody99: I am on a Business SmartData $90 plan - VF have confirmed I won't get extra data or 4g for free.   It sucks to be a "loyal" customer!

Handsomedan: I just simply can't justify moving from the current plan I am on to a new, more expensive and inferior plan, just so I can go to 4G, with faster speed, the potential to use more data, faster at far higher cost and lower data cap.

I understand the business driver behind pushing people off of grandfathered plans onto less useful plans that are more expensive and offer less, but to not offer 4G in any capacity shows a complete lack of appreciation for long-standing and loyal customers...and I am normally an advocate of VF.

To get the equivalent of what I have now for my $40.00 a month, I'd be paying in excess of $100.00 today.
Just for the luxury of having access to a faster means to eat through my data.

No thanks

As far as I am aware, VF is giving 4G to all on account people but they aren't bumping data allowances for the grandfathered plans.

I called VF when the announcement was made and less than a minute later I had 4G on my phone and I don't see anything on my account re charges for it.
