So I was going over my large Vodafone bill today and figured that I want to make some substantial savings. Doing as I do, I figured the Vodafone website might be a good place to get some rate tables, advice and maybe some choices...but noooooo!

I searched "International Calling Rates" and got to a link with "savings" compared to landlines in 2005!

Here 'tis... www.vodafone.co.nz/services/international-calling/business-plans.jsp

Come on people @ Vodafone - the world has changed over the last 3 years - surely you have more competitive rates now don't you?? If not, has the International Calling Mobile Rates Product Manager gone to the International Calling Landline Rates Product Manager and compared their own tables!!!!

Here is the Vodafone Landline International tables: www.vodafone.co.nz/home-phone-and-broadband/home-phone/calling-rates.jsp

I especially love the quote at the bottom of the Mobile ones for "verification" which shows their own table must be so out of whack!
