Default VODAFONE IS SHIT!

Got a Brand new Nokia 6230 last month on contract,
The deal was 100 minutes and 100 texts free a month which will cost 21quid.

I said to the salesman, "im happy enough 2 pay 21quid a month aslong as what you said is correct?".
"Yes of course" he says.

So after about the 3rd week of having it, i reached my limit so i layed back off the phone while i was waiting for my bill comes though. Gets the bill through Yesterday morning 50 FUCKIN QUID

I really dont understand this at all, so im going to have words with them tomorrow and try and sort something out.

i always found vodafone a little shifty with their contracts, even if you monitor your usage in 'sent messages' and 'dialled calls durations' they still never match up and they still charge me a few quid extra each time.

still with them tho

Been with Vodafone 15 years and not had much problem tbh....on a pretty good tariff know called VF1000..............get 1000 mins a month and bill is usually no more than £75...

Still go over sometime though...

Things have improved over the years though,i`ve had bill of up to £1000 in the past...

Rachel came very close to issuing Vodafone with legal papers after a dispute. A solicitors letter got the required result in the end though. Wouldn't go back to them EVER again. Bunch of useless wankers
