Vodafone 100Gb 12 Month Contract Available Again

[Camdoon]

Camdoon ... any good for you?

Yes indeed

 

[Realist]

Just cancelled my Vodafone contracts been with them for over 15 years but when your paying £150 a month in mobile bills it gets to much so....

I started two new contracts with Sky mobile and saved all the data up over the last few months and now I have 4 sims two have 8GB data each month (phones) and the other 2 have 1GB for my tablets and all the above is costing me £20 a month plus I have 286GB in the piggy bank to use as I wish and it’s stored for 3 years.

So it’s a win win for me from £150 to £20 with loads of data.

 

[Realist]

Sorry £16 not £20 win win.

Interesting read this, so thanks in advance, but does any provider allow you to roll over data not used from previous month?, I know I am asking a lot, maybe too much, but when you are away abroad touring its easier to reach you limit, so the question to the provider would be.....can you roll over the data we have not used last month and add it on, without charging me more?, I am on me hols after all, pretty please
I think I know the answer,its ends in OFF, but as Vodafone keep offering me "Special Deals" as I am "Such a Loyal Customer"it cant hurt to ask.
"Is there anything else I can help with today?" yea roll over my data!

Is there a data limit whilst roaming such as Three’s 19gb per month?

They don’t seem sure. I’ve had two ‘yes, it’s unlimited’ responses and one ‘limited to 19gb’ response. Sadly, it’s not a democracy!

Hi Les,TinaL
I think Sky do data rollover and for up to 3 years, Virgin and a couple of the smaller companies 1 month.

 

[Realist]

Any unused data you don’t use via Sky is placed in a piggy bank and held their for up to 3 years. The great bit is you can then move data in 1GB increments back to your account to use plus you can use your unwanted data towards discount off phones, tablets etc.

OMG !!
I am on with sorting this and what a bloody nightmare.

I phoned mobiles.co.uk to check that it does include usage abroad and it does, so went on to ask him if I could order through him or do it online?
I can do it now for you sir.
OK.
Gave him all of my details.
i just need to run a credit check through vodafone.
sorry sir, but you've been declined.
why?
i don't know - you'll have to ring vodafone
so, 20mins on hold for vodafone and it turns out that mobiles.co.uk guy has submitted my details incorrectly as date lived at current address was wrong.
so because of this, I've now got a black mark on my credit scoring.
anyway, I can sort it for you says mr vodafone, so after another 10mins, he's cleared the credit check and given me a reference number and said they can't beat the deal that mobiles.co.uk are offering so ring them back.
Another 10mins on with mobiles.co.uk - different guy as first guy was busy cocking someone else's finance history up.
Oh sorry about that, I can see what he's done, I'll amend it.
Can I just go through your details again? (so I can claim his commission?)
Yes, no problem - I have a reference number from vodafone's credit check and all went through ok.
OK, I'll cross reference it.
I now just need to do a credit check and update the last credit check.
Oh, it's come back as a referral - I need to speak with them, so to save you holding, I will call you back (After I've borrowed the office bull shit excuses book section A) Cock ups. and are prepared for the slather that you'll give me when I tell you that I too have royally F'd it up for you.

I'm now waiting for them to call me back.
I wish I hadn't bothered and stuck with no signal 3

 

[GAVLAD]

Update
Mobiles.co.uk called back and he’s ‘managed’ to get me through their checks!
Now awaiting SIM card so is it goodbye 3 or au revoi?

 

[Richard Birkett]

I will never understand the mobile market! This morning I was on Vodaphone 40 gig of data, unlimited texts & calls for £30 per month with a month and a half left on the contract. 1 phone call and they upgraded me to 100 gig blah blah and I’m now paying £24 RESULT!! I’m not complaining but how does that work?

I work for Sky and as a staff member I get offers to give to family and friends.

If anyone’s interested I have 9 codes left to give away, these are sim only but 50% off any deal.

First come, first served but please only ask for one if it’s going to be used or someone could loose out.

Regards.

We have one of the Vodafone 100gb pm sims, took out the contract just before it ended last time. ? March when it was £20pm reduced to £13.
We've been out of the UK since 23 April and it's been in use in one way or another (hotspot on iPhone or in boat mifi) ever since. No restricted use and often has up to six people logged on and using it at the same time with no slowing of speed.

Did they give an explanation? I have had very similar problems with them today. Failed credit check etc etc.
Thanks

 

[billym]

Well for me mobiles.co have blamed Vodaphone for my refusal.
Vodaphone have blamed Experian credit score for refusal
Experian show I have an excellent credit score.

Life's too short
Good luck getting your cashback

 

[Landy Andy]

Cash back came through all ok. Two cheques ??

I think this deal has ended now. Vodafone have a number of "unlimted" data deals but in the fine print it limits you to 25GB a month outside the UK which is less than the 50GB I have now - and was able to use recently in France.

I'm going to give Vodafone a ring in a few days and see what they can offer me as the existing 50GB sim only mobile broadband deal I have is now eligible to be changed - if there is anything better out there.

 

[Lenny HB]

IanRJ unlimited data plan, which has a limit of 19GB usage while you're abroad (that's a lot for trip).

Not really, in Portugal last year using a NOS sim I got through over 30GB in 2 weeks.

I have already done this and it works. In my case £6pm, but I use very little data except when Away, so the "banked" data comes in handy.

 

[Realist]

Correct, I started my package a few months before I needed it so time I ported over my number I had already built up a 268GB data in my piggy bank.

And with my offer above peeps can save 50% in price for what ever package they need.

[Camdoon]

I was going to go down the sky route but they sent me 2 sim cards which did not inspire me. Apart from that I would have no time to bank some data so going Vodafone through Mobiles. It's a minefield out there.

Yes, Vodafone said that Mobiles.co.uk had only taken one address for credit history when I said we’d been at current address for 2 years. Apparently Vodafone need 3 years of address details so gave them my previous address and they ok’d it. They said it happens regularly with Mobiles.co
Phoned mobiles.co back and gave them a bollocking as it will show up on my credit score and the guy said he would clear that with another correct credit check. Not sure how that works?

Anyway, Vodafone have sent me my hello letter confirming their tariff and monthly charge of £40. No mention of deal with Mobiles.co at £24 - I knew the cash back deal to bring down to £13/14 was deal with Mobiles.co so called Vodafone to check I am being charged £24 a month and not £40 and they said the direct debit charge was £24 p mth.
So if you’re prepared for a bit of faffing about and checking or correcting cock ups, it’s a good deal.

So do you still have to send your bills in to Mobile

I got that letter this morning ?? so thanks for your assurance... was a bit worried and was going to start making call?

 

[GAVLAD]

With my deal, no. Mobiles.co will send me a cheque for £90 as cash back within 36 days of starting the deal. From memory I’m paying £16 per month. The £13/14 p mth deal is where you have to send them 6 statements in the year to them claim back the cash back. Too much hassle for me but it’s the cheaper deal.
I’d sooner pay a few quid and not have as much agro

 

[GAVLAD]

I know. We swapped mortgage deals last month and had both lenders taking a mortgage monthly payment!
Didn’t want Vodafone and Mobiles taking a payment this month!

Have you checked your direct debit with your bank? Might be quicker than waiting on line for Vodafone. They told me they’d just taken the first payment of £24 today. Might save u waiting.

 

[Camdoon]

28 minutes - it will be escalated. Now i am waiting online to do a survey Will check bank account. Survey not happening

 

[Realist]

I was with Vodafone for over 15 years and I can tell you the hassles I’ve had with them and that’s why I moved they are useless.

 

[Camdoon]

I think most utilities are fairly useless when anything goes wrong. They know they will lose so many every year but if they reach their recruitment/retention levels they are not bothered. It will all be cynically measured. With phones I have had a major issue with 3 and Virgin while Tesco have been good. It is only a year for Vodafone so lets see how it goes from here in .
