Ive heard (on the vodafone e-forum) you can't make the complaint until the text message comes through, I think this is because they may change there mind and not bring it in.

Mine is a bit odd, I've got the "VMI WEB Browsing" pack - which is the Unlimited (500mb FUP) addon but they give it to me free. Had it for about 4 months - the previous 3 months I've used well over the 500mb
Feb - made 1.212GB of mobile browsing + data calls
Mar - made 2.741GB of mobile browsing + data calls
Apr - made 2.244GB of mobile browsing + data calls

So far this month I'm up to 1.5GB - my bill will increase dramatically if I get charged £5 per 500mb - currently my bills over the past 3 months have averaged ~£20 (just less than).

Edit: I've not had ANY text from Vodafone at all, no contact regardless of what I used per month.

Based on this article the 10% rule applies completely, my bill will go from £20/month to at least £25 - £30 per month!

No it shouldn't do. If you started your contract and added the internet bundle after that it would constitute out of bundle charging.
But yours is included in the original deal.
That said Voda seem to make the rules as they go along at the moment.

I have only had phone 1 month, CPW sold it as unlimited internet, which is hardly what I now have. I have used about 300 mb in a month as have not been away anywhere, so use wifi when at home. I think a fairer system would be allow you to have a rolling amount, so if I use 300 one month and then 700 the next thats still classes as allowable at no extra charge, this does seem to target people who have kept within the limit, as heavy users can now cancel their contract keep the phone i presume and get a better deal elsewhere?!, whilst we are stuck with the worry of being charged extra when we may go slightly over.... seems unfair...

You would think that the ever-increasing number of connected devices and the increasing use of bandwidth, we should see decreasing costs or more generous allowances.

But typically here in the UK the inverse happens instead.

It costs more and you get less. No wonder we are so far behind internet-based communications compared to Europe and the USA.

Have Vodafone formally announced this?
When does the 14-day notice start from (to cancel contract)?

if it all starts 1st June - then mid May we should get the text to tell us.
Then we can use the notes from this thread to send out cancellation letters.

I originally signed up with mobile phones direct - if I cancel my 2-year contract with Vodafone do I have to inform mobile phones direct too?
