Hmm, this plan would almost suit me yet i still feel it prudent to wait :P

This is most definitely a step in the right direction however I am sure TCNZ and 2D will come to the party in the near future so maybe not the right time to lock into a 12mth plan

Haha great timing! ;)

So now that we can't sign up to "You Choose" any more, how do we get Vodafone Family on account??

I believe that you can still sign up to the You Choose plans but even if you can't, Family can be added to the Starter, Talker, Texter, Mega plans.

The early termination fee is very insignificant

I don't see what the difference is...at least its not a substanial one.

These 'Easy' plans are no more than the old Base plans rebranded.

And pushing the whole cheapest plan $18.95 thing...that was the same price of the entry Base plan previously.

It all appears to be just typical marketing, talking a product up, nothing more...nothing new and exciting or enticing to see here.

They are quite different from the old base plans

Interesting timing seeing that a certain other company is due to launch on 5th August. How about matching the vodafone plans on offer in Australia Voda?

The old plans were crap weren't they?

I remember looking at "You Choose 20" which offered 20 minutes for $20 and nothing more.

What a waste of time! Talk about pushing people onto Prepaid.

Of course it takes a third player for the biggest significant shift in lower end pricing for many years.

So is that the only difference then...40 txt's? (educate me, I'm being lazy)

Bear in mind the free data, is only a limited time promotion, and was/is available to all new accounts.

There's also 60mins off peak (nights and weekends in the newspeak) - For me this would be the perfect plan - I was going to switch to prepay, as I only use my mobile in emergencies now (apart from bestmates with my wife), but the early termination fees were more than changing the plan to the base.

So - $18.95 / month for 20 mins peak, 60 mins offpeak and 40 txts ... of course, this plan isn't for everyone.

I imagine that it's definitely not for those that watch a lot of youtube videos on their phone (unless video is very bandwidth light on a mobile phone ....)

Correct me if I am wrong but I don't think you can use best mates with this plan...

My views (except when I am looking out their windows) are not those of my employer.

Correct, no bestmates, no family (can maybe be added to a family group though?)

I looked at the base plans a while ago and are good value if you don't need bestmates. I was all ready to swap to this plan until I realised the lack of bestmates...
