Hi noobmonkey, I have ordered N900 with Voda as well. I am wondering when will my new contract start. I am about to go on holiday on 13th Dec so I would rather like to start my contract when I get back on 1st Jan... Is the new contract intialized when they send out the phone or is inserting the SIM card to mobile the trigger? Thanks!

So i explained that i have the N900 (Good phone he said!) and that i'm setting it up and downloading alot, he said not to panic - it's expected that you will go over in your first month, but expect to get a warning letter if i hit 3 GB+! :0
Anyway, the reason why i called vodafone was for something else - so may help new voda contract peoples.
I notice flickr is blocked because of content restriction. So went to the voda forums and tried to register. Couldnt register with account details, that i don't have!
Called 191 - spoke to a nice guy on the other end, restriction removed in 30 seconds, works fine. and he sent me an email to my account with auto-registration for the voda forums/account details etc
Very simple, and was very impressed!! - so you don't have to wait for your account number to arrive

Before i did that, i put my work voda sim card in it for a day. - checked it was all fine, then put the new one in
(Means you can check the device without starting the contract)

I am also interested in Skype. Can you make Skype calls over 3G? If not can you at least use skype chat?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Dont think so, what if you never use the sim do you have a phone for nothing?
