Vodafone are crafty sods (applies to anyone wanting to change to 02 for an iphone)

</p>

They're clearly panicking about losing customers to 02 because of the iphone. When I phone last week I was honest with them and said why I wanted to leave. They said that they'd changed the rules lately with customers wishing to reduce their contract to a smaller monthly fee- basically folkwere setting it to minimum payment per month and then paying off their contract to go with 02 (exactly what wanted to do).</p>

They said that you can now only go down one tariff per month, so it would take me 4 months to get to their basic price plan- pretty much tying you in or leaving you with a massive severence payment to get out early.</p>

So anyway today I called them with a different story- said I was wanting to set my contract to minimum as I was off travelling overseasand didn't want to get lumbered with excessive costs for a phone line I wasn't using. And no questions asked, I was put on the lowest tariff going and wished bon voyage.</p>

RE: What sort of contract are you tied into?

I'm on your typical 18 mth deal on Vodafone, £35 per month plus extras. Runs till June, and you can't break it early unfortunately.

 

RE: How much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

</p>

I know there's a lot of deals out there but I've always been loyal to Vodafone, 11 years, stupidly.

Now I've got rid, but I won't be saving much money with the iphone, those contracts are dear too....</p>
