Hi all,
Well i just called 191 and have changed my price plan to one of the new plans at the same price and although i have lost a lot texts that i didn't use any way. I can now set my Push E-Mail to roam when i am away from WiFi and even engage in some Web Surfing at up to 7.2mbps HSDPA.
It really looks like Voda have made some great moves in the Data Services they offer and this change really suits me well. Having previously not having liked VodaFone very much and only having chosen them as i wanted a N95 8GB i am now really happy with this deal especially as there HSDPA speeds are by far the best.
They are much better than 02's reduced rates or what T-Mobile give you on a standard Data deal. Not sure what Orange's are but doubt they compete with this as now for the same cost with just less texts i have 500mb of super fast Data today has turned out to be good day.

Unlimited = 500Mb? LOL 
I hate the way the word unlimited is being used more and more to mean anything but.

500mb is more than enough for an average user imo..

Now all they need to do is provide a signal (reception is really poor where I live, it's the same with T-Mobile)
In any case, I'm not having a go at Vodafone, it's just this 'unlimited' tag that bothers me. How companies get away with lying like that is amazing.

Hi all
Yes especially as none of them actually are unlimited or even close to it. Fortunately i have really good coverage where i am and as currently don't have a Data plan loosing some minutes and texts that i don't use anyway woks really well for me.
What speeds are people getting from T-Mobile now? as i last saw they were not full speed 3.6mbps and we all know about 02's lack of speed. My package change starts from midnight so will check what speed i get from Voda tomorrow and post the results. Currently i get just short of 3megs over my WiFi connection and am interested to see if Voda is faster or not.
Forgot to mention this is not just for new contracts and that you can change your plan to a new one, the only thing you can't do is prior to month 9 of your contarct is reduce your spend pm.

On T-Mobile the best speed that I have had through my N95 is about 1MB/min

Called them, wanted me to add another 6 months to my current 12 months contract to add internet, not good enough,, Dont think it would be long they allow it for all customers..

Will Vodafone let you change your tariff anyone know?
I wasn't happy that they reduced there plans and I could of had 500 anytime / network mins and unlimited texts for £25 per month not fair 
appart from that im happy for the time being,
I added the data onto my account and it's really fast,
but yeah great idea free data thats what we all want included in our plans afterall good on them!

This deal is crap. I would like to clarify O2's deal is not 200MB it is subject to an excessive usage policy which is certainly not 200MB or 500MB it is much more than that. In addition to this, on £25 or above you can have unlimited internet foc as part of the plan as the free unlimited bolton.
plus on voda i just read: Only for new customerz or i need to downgrade or upgrade to a new tariff and adding another 6monthz to my 18monthz contract<<<< one of the terms to get this tariff apparently. read it on that link at the start of the post
Looks like voda are finally trying to catch up by copying O2.

Marc, they activate data straight away if you go on your account you can activate it and switch it off yourself,
ive had mine a few weeks used about 40MB
data is actually free for the foirst monthbut I wanna see if they will let me have it included for free now!
gonna go over to the eForum and findout 
how do you check the speed?
I can do that for you all if you want on my N95 8GB let me know
@ Mr Miyagi, no comment on 02 they don't amuse me anymore
