Vodafone iPhone Customers - Get out of contract!

instinct

Following on from the great O2 thread - see below for VF customers to opt out of contract.

Perfect Choice Access Plus and signed up before 25th of March 2010.

You will be told you can be free to change provider and not face termination charges or cancel you account and lose phone number but I am not sure how accurate that is.

I would have thought you sould be able to opt out of contract and go on a month by month basis but they were not happy to let me do that.

All I understand from this is they won't be carrying over your unused data... O2 are changing call charges which is much more of an issue, no?

Its not done in degrees of change. Once they want to change your contract, they have to let you out of it, no matter how insignificant it may seem. I remember the good old days when VF used to carry over your minutes and texts every month. They did carry over data on the ISP plan that I just finished up.

They told me it didn't amount to a contractual change cos I don't carry data over anyway Shame I was hoping to get a few extras added like I did on my O2 account for my other phone;)

I know that, But this thread titled get out of contract seems a bit of an over kill, as it's quite insignificant compared to o2's change.

That was my point, It might just cause a lot of panic over something that isn't huge. Just how I felt when I read the changes...

Not overkill, and not insignificant. Its a contractual change. For the length of the contract, you expect any unused data to transfer to the next month, now they won't, saving them money. They are changing it for their benefit, and you don't have to accept it. probably will be nowhere near the scale of the issue that O2 have, but same principal applies.

Just as valid as the o2 thread. The point, and the only point that matters, is that you can terminate your contract without penalty.

It shouldn't matter if you haven't done so in the past as it actually takes away your right to do it in the future. I would get back on to them if I was you

they are being really sticky with me and still have not got out. Am waiting for a call back but I may go to another operator and see can they request my number ported over.

I just want to leave VF as I find them terrible, 3g intermittent, website hopeless, dropping calls etc.

At least their agents are very good at saying sorry but they are well used too that.

Pity that anyone that bought an Iphone with them could only get it on the 25th or after so it doesnt apply to them
