Upcoming Mobile Phone Plans on VODAFONE?

[li21]

Hi all...

I was wondering if anyone knows whats happening with VODAFONE?

Everytime I think about changing to VODA their plans seem to change.

Does anyone have any inside info about the upcomming new Vodafone plans set to change end of this month? Will it be better to sign up now or wait till the end of the month?


My girlfriend is currently on a Business Choice 40 which sounds good but doesnt seem to be on offer anymore.
She says she gets
- 20c / 30sec to any network off peak
- 20c / 10 mins to any VODA peak
- 1 buddy @ 10c/10mins

I cant seem to find a plan that seems to fit this description. And i dont think Business Choice 40s are still being offered.

There is the VODA 40 plan but that has NO BUDDY and NO - 20c / 30sec to any network off peak?
But still the VODA 40 seems decent.

What to do? Wait or sign up lock and lock in a good deal for the next 24 months?

Also what handsets are available on a 24month x $40 plan?

cheers

60 plan is where it all starts to happen.
& what they showed to the misses & I what you get on a 40 plan was horrible to say the least. Some dodgy looking nokia thing & a couple of others.

I agree.

The pricing on phone calls and the phone options @ 60 dollars, IMHO, are worth the extra cash over a $40 plan.

I saved about 35% on my call rate, and got a free T610 on joining a $60 plan.

The prices and phones at $40 were, in a word, crap.

Darn ... Any idea what the excess to get a T610 would be on a 40 Plan?

And anyone know what the new Plans set to come out end of August will be like?

There doesnt seem to be much saving between the $40 and $60 plan as the only difference in calls rates are the number of buddies? Which is only a 10c saving?

But still my GF got a good deal.. i dont know how.. but she has 1 buddy and still scored the t610 for free on a $40 plan.

Yeah, you're talking about the Business 40 plan, which isn't being offered anymore. The new 40 plan doesn't let you have any mates.

A friend at Vodafone told me they're announcing something new in the next few weeks and told me to wait until then. She wouldn't say anymore than that.

heheh.. Same here, was hoping someone would spill the beans on this one here.

I wouldnt like it if I missed out on the current plans for something that isnt worth waiting for

Did te business 40 have 30 cents / 10 mins any mbile or am i mistaken??

I'm not strictly up to date on Vodafone, but i know that Telstra & Optus are much better deals on $60 than 40.

Vodafone doesn't do as much with calls, but the phone options are better.

Sounds like your GF got a good deal - that happens!

Yeh she was very lucky, i just asked her last night she gets 30c for 10 mins to any network off peak!! Dont know if SMS were included in the montly allowance tho...

KNow anywhere that would still offer the old Business Choice 40?

Still no one has info on the upcoming plans?

Anyone willing to divulge some detials yet?

I've found a Vodafone dealer who will provide me with a non-live T610 on the current $60 plan.

Should I grab that, or is it REALLY worth hanging out for the new plans?

Can I ask where you can get the Non live version of the T610?
cheers

So many full stops in the first line, but where did the rest go?

Sorry to be a spelling/punctuation nazi, but what the hell is that?

I couldn't make an ounce of sense out of that - it's undreadable.
