It has long been my opinion of Vodafone that they will try to fleece
customers via the small print. Dealing with them appears to be a mine
field. when I look at tariffs I don't even bother with Vodafone, I
just don't trust them!
It is about time that consumers were protected against claims of
'unlimited' and that the full deal should be presented clearly, on
paper, up front. I believe that the govenrment is letting consumers
down badly in this area. It needs regulation but the govenment, it
appears to me, seem reluctant to do anything to upset the mobile
networks lest they do not bid as much for spectrum allocations.
At one time someone in the govenment suggested a tax on mobile phones
- they introduced it by the back door with the 3G licence auction.
