"I pay £30/mth for 500mins Stop the clock (talk 1hr pay 3 of my free mins) 500txts. Current charging me £18 thou still have 1/2 line rental because my Nokia 5800 died within it's 1st month."

500 mins of stop the clock, you can talk up to 1 hour but only get charged for 3 of your minutes, is that it?

"They would not let me have a Iphone and keep my contract because to them they lose £75 a month of calls along because I still have the STC feature."

What is STC?

Does anyone apart from Orange do inclusive calls to european mobiles as part of your minutes?

Thanks.

I had over 3 contracts with vodafone. The bill was around £60 per month for a £25 a month phone alone. When I queried the charges (As I never used the phone) They said I had extras and would not be refunded.

Just recently I got a letter through the post DEMANDING £900 to cancel all contracts. Seriously?

I am also with O2, I have never ever had issues with my iphone. CS is always great and I pay my monthly bill when I feel like it.

So o2 beats vodafone hands down.

I completely agree with the last comment from Stephen Greenham. If Vodafone where lucky enough to have landed the original sole iPhone deal then they would have faced similair network issues. I am on an O2 contract and have not noticed a single problem!.

Yeah networks other than O2 have the iphone now, but now no-one has exclusivity, and that means that data load is shared more evenly over all the networks that carry it.

When O2 was the lone carrier of the iPhone its network was having to handle many many times more data then a network such as voda's which only has a few thousand Iphone users.

Unless you can show me data stating that any network has carried more data than O2's in the last 24 months I still believe that O2's network is the best. Yes it is creaking under pressure, but so would vodafone or any other carriers network should it see a 20-fold increase in mobile data traffic in 1 year (something that O2's network has managed to cope with... just)

I don't know what Peter Kelly's sources were - perhaps he's been talking to the Delusion Fairy - but of the 6 people I know who have ordered an iPhone through Vodafone - direct through Vodafone - only 2 have actually received and connected their iPhone without any problems. Three of them have had to send the phones straight back to Vodafone and one still isn't connected properly.

So clearly blind prophets are favourite for Vodafone management jobs then.

"No issues with the deliveries and activations of the iPhones" Really Vodafone - REALLY??!!!?!

I received my iPhone on Thursday 14th as expected. However this was not the 32GB phone I had ordered but the 16GB... So rang up Vodafone and explained, very apologetic man on the other line assured me I'd get a priority order and the delivery would arrive if not the following day then on Monday for sure.

Monday came and went. Rang once again Vodafone. Apparently my important priority order HADN'T EVEN BEEN PLACED!!!

Am now on yet another "priority" order and am due to receive it tomorrow... but who knows, maybe this time I'll end up with the old 8GB version?

So Vodafone, I'd very much like to know what about this is considered to be "successful"???

Vodafone might have been able to fill out the 50,000 pre-orderes lets see how many of them brake or fail after 8 months. I'm still with Vodafone for another 6 more months and then I might end my contract I asked about there Iphone and would I be able to get 1 on my current contract.

They said no I'd have to move to one of the new ones, see I'm still on there Create your Own plan feature thats now not available. I pay £30/mth for 500mins Stop the clock (talk 1hr pay 3 of my free mins) 500txts. Current charging me £18 thou still have 1/2 line rental because my Nokia 5800 died within it's 1st month.

They would not let me have a Iphone and keep my contract because to them they lose £75 a month of calls along because I still have the STC feature.

And to be honest I reckon O2's are a little more better for packages even for PAYG.
