Good one. You are probably one of the few people in the country that can get free data from Vodafone due to probably a billing error (Vodafone says theyhad closed an old loophole) and you let everyone know - which means probably Vodafone will fix this soon and you won't have your "free" Internet anymore.

And since you have just said how long youve been online with it, they'll probably take your credit to cover it.

They maybe slow at sorting things out when theyre suppose to be giving you money, but when youre taking it without permission, theyre usually pretty quick to fix it.

Oh mate! Get..........a..............life.

Why dont you call someone who cares. John is right, I've seen you post this about 5 times and honestly do you think
anyone is going to care?

Just remember that it is theft, and theft is definitely NOT cool.

i did this on my sagem about a year a go as a test. I only did it like for half an hour with 10cents on my phone as a test. i won't do it again, but its a hole that vodafone should fix. xboxmodder isn't really thieving, its not his fault, it's vodafone's for letting such an easy loop hole through!

So if you leave your door open one day and someone grabs your TV it's not stealing, because you left a huge loop hole open?

What about common sense?

It would be funny if vodafone goes to his place and charge him for the amount of data he used

Lol..
