Vodafone doesn’t have any unlimited plans for the iPhone, and uptil now, there were no unlimited plans for the regular GPRS too. Finally, better sense prevailed, and Vodafone has come out with an unlimited GPRS plan (fair usage policy: 1GB/ month)
If you are not a heavy user, you might want to opt for the Zero Rental plan and pay only for the data that you use. So you don’t pay any rental per month and pay 10p per 10KB used. The second plan they have is Rental of Rs 50/-, where you get 5 MB free and 30 MMS. The last plan which they recently introduced is the unlimited GPRS, where you pay a rental of Rs 249/- and get 1GB free per month.
To Activate the unlimited plan – send a SMS (ACT VL249) to 111 (toll free)
To Cancel the plan – send SMS (CAN ACT249)
What network are you on, and what GPRS plan to do use?
it was very interesting to read.
I want to quote your post in my blog. It can?
And you et an account on Twitter?
Vodafone has started taking their customers for granted. It has become a very unprofessional organization. Let me site my own example. Firstly, Vodafone data services were not working from Dec 19 to Dec 21 due to some technical problem. There was no notification to the customers or public acknowledgement by Vodafone about this issue (unlike Airtel who recently published an apology in Times of India); secondly, after they resumed their data services from Dec 22, they apparently made some changes in their policy that iphone users will not be able to use GPRS services unless they subscribed to special (very costly) iphone data plans. How can such a big organization make such sudden policy changes without informing their customers in advance? To top it, they suddenly started charging my account heavily for the data usage, which had been fixed to Rs. 99 unlimited till now (Note, I have been using Vodafone’s GPRS service on my iphone for the last 8 months at Rs 99 pm). I have made umpteen phone calls to their customer care; they keep giving these SLAs of 48 hours, etc. in which their executive will get back but so far (10 days) that hasn’t happened and mind you mine is a corporate account. Very annoying!!!
