on the mega plan, gone over my allocated 200minutes which i knew i had done, but did not know vodafone was stinging me 99c/min for ever call to another vodafone mobile. i was under the impression i was being charged around 12c/min for vodafone to vodafone calls if i wen over my 200 allocated minutes? when did vodafone change this?

It's always in their pricing plan page.

"Other Charges - Description
Additional Calls - Once your included minutes have been used, anytime national voice calls or video calls are charged at $0.99 per minute."

yea i know, i read that before on their website. but what i was wating to know, has it always been 99c/min for vfn to vfn mins if you go over the allocated 200mins? when i first signed up for the mega plan about april 2008 im sure it was about 12c/min if you went over the 200 vfn to vfn mins, and 99c/min if you went over the 20 anytime national mins.

I don't think Vodafone have ever made VF-VF mobile calls 12c on a plan.

Since Mega 20 is based on You Choose 20, check out this page from April 2008:

only business VF phone line customers can call a VF mobile for 12cents...

Do whatever you want to do man.

would recommend that you read up on the per MB charges as well if you didnt read up on the voice charges. That should save you a few heart attacks in future.

I've been with VF since 2000, and I've never heard of calls being 12c a minute when you go over your allocated amount. If it's a special promotion, maybe, but usually? No.

It has always been 99c per minute after any bundled minutes are used up on the mega plan.

i don't really think there is any reason to be annoyed at Vodafone for this one, it's up to you to ensure you know what your calling rates are!

12c a minute on a $40 plan would be dreaming.

12c would be amazing but impossible, The cheapest per-minute plan was Flexi Mytime at 10c per minute but this was only off-peak and once you had used 100 minutes off-peak at 20c per minute.

I pay 25c per min on Vodafone plus a $20 plan charge (Compass)

An I pay about 34c a min on Telecom CDMA plus a $34 plan charge but I get 200 off-peak minutes starting at 6PM included in that as well. ("Amway" something-or-other plan)

Sorry, back on topic, Mega 20 was always 99c after you use your bundles minutes or call a mobile "off-net"

Was a great plan when friends were on Vodafone but many have migrated not wo 2degrees and XT
