Vodafone slashes mobile data charges
Posted on 4 Feb 2008 at 10:23
Vodafone is slashing the price of its mobile data rates in half, albeit temporarily.
The cost of its Mobile Broadband 3GB package is being reduced from £30 to £15 for a "limited period", though Vodafone would not confirm how long this will run for.
Customers who exceed this limit will be charged £15 for each 1GB.
Less regular internet users are also catered for, with a 30-day no commitment plan for £20 per month. However, Vodafone was unable to tell us what the fair usage policy on the package was at the time of writing.
"As well as the promotional offer, from next week Vodafone UK customers will be able to browse the internet with great confidence, whether at home or overseas, benefiting from clear and predictable pricing," says Nick Read, Vodafone CEO.
"Clearly the market potential for consumer Mobile Broadband is great and we are excited to be introducing the new plans that will meet the demands of all our customers," he says.
Although the deals will only be temporarily available, a Vodafone spokesperson assured us that customers who take advantage of the deal will be able to keep the package for the life of their contract.
Vodafone made headlines with its mobile data charges earlier this year when a UK customer was charged £27,000 for downloading "20 or 30" television shows to his notebook over his mobile phone.
