In typical Vodafone style, they announce and aggressivly market what seems to be something revolutionary but as always in true Vodastyle, has a hidden catch.
I made this suggestions in a post two years ago on UCNZ.com (or maybe it was here?) about "build you own plan" by buying modules and building a plan from scratch, no bull "free minute plans" you buy what YOU will use.
If you are a txter then you buy packs of TXT bundles as you need them, the more you buy, the cheaper it is. You buy data bundles as you see you will need them, peak of off peak minutes as you need them, freeing us from these horrible "free minute" plans.
I'll scratch up the post somewhere.
What they have released was something uncannily similar (I actually aimed the post towards Telecom)
The bad....
They sting you with first off, a 24 month contract. WHY! what idiots, I have NEVER signed a term contract and never will. This shows their desperation against churn.
You can't buy an option twice :-( i'd be interested in two 100 TXTs for example.
Video calling is not included
and HOW did they trademark (™) "Add-On"
The obsession with XX.95 charging... $20, $30 $40 was SOOOO much simpler!, bring back Grahame Maher!
The good.
a LOT Cheaper than many current plans, good bundling options,
Vodafone is the leader in new permanent plans (motormouth, per sec charging on prepay, Your-Choice) all of Telecoms stuff they bring to the market is "limited offer" like $10 TXT, 3 minute hours, etc.
just WHY is there that 24 month CONTRACT!!!!!! ARGH!
