Vodafone GPRS Charges

[Guest mcwarre]

All,

Can anyone tell me the GPRS data charges on Vodafone (contract) please? I have contacted customer services who firstly tried to put me on a 3G plan (with a 2G phone) and then tried to sell me a data card!!!

Also do Vodafone do GPRS packages (i.e. 3mb for £x/month) or is it all pay-as-you-consume? Can’t find it anywhere. Many thanks.

£2.35/mb seems to be the standard for pay monthly:

£7.50/mb for pay as you go(!)

Thanks emad.

A bit expensive. Do they do GPRS bundles anyone?

Have a look at the above thread.

Seems that data is actually part of there text bundles.

Costs around £1 per mb it seems.

It's true for the SMS/MMS/Data bundles and it was confirmed by Vodafone for me ;)

Lets say you have a 250 text messages bundle, it's equlivant to 4.5MB of GPRS or 100 MMS (I think, it might've 50) :D

You can use any of them at the same time too :D

I think it's a lot better compared to Orange :D

Cheers pnozay and welcome to the site.

I spoke to vodafone and discovered that my talk plan has 250 texts as well (=13mb of data)! Including 1000 off peak minutes all for £16/month (it's also half-price for the first 6 months). As happy as a pig in the perverbial

[Guest Cybertronic]

That's the same price plan as I have now ;)

Where did you get that information from please? ;)

Vodafone doesn't have much information about GPRS on their site :D

[Guest mcwarre]

I got this info emailed direct from a vodafone customer services rep:

Do those student tariffs with unlimited texts get unlimited data? ;) :shock:

[Guest Emad]

I just found this out today when I activated my vodafone. Am well chuffed. GPRS monitor on the 9100 is acting a bit strange though - 1k a second even with GPRS off (!). Weird.

Nearly time to start using stop the clock ;)

Oh, vodafone GPRS settings for 9100:

PAP authentication in settings->connnections->gprs settings

settings->connections->add a new modem connection in my isp, username web, password web.

Is there any way to check how many texts you have left?
