ahmad:wreck90:
Why do vodafone put an asterisk next to the following statement (i could see no explanation)....
"1GB of data each month*"
That's for the first 6 months isn't it? According to posters above.
Wade: new plans are up on VF website....
200 minutes, 2500 TXTs, 250MB + 1GB bonus data for $65/mth....
Its a win/loose compared to my $61.30 120 minutes, 2500 TXTs, 3GB data, I'm happy to be biased toward data rather than minutes

I was looking at the one month term option. I guess, the asterisk does not apply. To cutoff peoples data halfway through the term will invite dissatisfaction...
A better way for the 12 month plan would be to just offer a constant 625MB per month allowance. Total data usage remains the same and you don't cut the legs out from people half way through the year.
I guess vodafone are counting on that people will not use their 1gb allowance.
The only positive I can see is that telecom may bring out new plans soon.

So they are only under matching the competition with limited data and lass minutes. I would have thought that they would undercut the competition. Perhaps they want to have a similar offering to adhere to the leakage of customers.
Instead of creating new plans, why not upgrade existing offerings? If I was on one of their older smart plans I would be annoyed.

why would they when the Telecom plans have much bigger, permanent, data allowances already?
e.g. $40 plan gets you 500MB on XT, $60 gets you 1GB, $100 gets you 2GB.
same price points on Voda gets you only 250MB, 250MB, and 500MB respectively.

Everyone have different needs of course. The new vodafone plans will be pleasing to some.
I disagree slightly with your analysis.
The vodafone $45 monthly plan gets you....
100 minutes
2500 sms
1gb data (permanent)
Free voicemail (zzzzz....)
The nearest telecom $40 plan gives you...
50 minutes
300 sms
500 mb data
So, in my opinion this vodafone plan is significantly better value than telecoms offering.
