Vodafone upgrades
« on: 29 February 2012, 18:50 »
The c#nts have changed their policy, it was 6 months before the contract expired. My 6 months would have started at the end of January and I wanted to look around, maybe get the Lumia 800... nope the motherf#ckers have changed it to 70 days before the contract expires... oh f#ck me I've blinked and they've gone and changed it again, now to 50 days before the contract is up...


Will they changed it to 30 days next, 2 weeks, 1 day?

c#nts.

"Further to the message above, as of 20th February:
 
We have taken the decision to reduce the period within which a customer can upgrade, to within 50 days of the end of their contract. We still offer one of the most competitive free early upgrade options available for customers.
 
These changes do not affect the length of the contract a customer has committed to. Any period left on an existing contract is accounted for before the customer’s new contract period starts.
 
This means that regardless of the period in which a customer can upgrade their phone, the contract length is not affected. The change does, however, mean customers will have to wait a couple more weeks before getting their next handset, so we have tried to introduce this change at a time which is traditionally relatively quiet in terms of new handset launches.
 
This change takes effect from February 20 across our retail and online channels and March 12 through customer services.
 
We will honour upgrades for those customers that were notified of their upgrade date ahead of any changes that we have made."



END.

The love affair continues with VD
How much for the Gs2?
"Sir for you £430 reduced just for you sir"
"Or we can give it for free at £32 per month! with 300 minutes!"
But I have 2000 minutes for £20.00 per month?
How about £32 per month and I keep my sim contract?
"Sorry sir we can't fu*ck you in the arse that way sir"
Okay Fu*ck you bunch of c*unts I'll buy my own phone!!!

Oh balls!

It was 4th of May, now 21st of September! C*nts. I certainly won't be upgrading though, I'm changing company.

Elvi, I knew the remaining months would have been tacked on to the next contract, but it would have been worth it imo.

I'm off to CPW when my contract is up, was in there a lot when my mother couldn't decide on a phone and they could do a better deal on the same phones as Voda - and their own network uses Vodafone!

Jon, you're clever a clever chap. How can Jay and me flog the vodafone contracts early without paying the £230 termination fee I'd have to pay for mine?  :nerd:

Tell me about it, I have 12 handsets with Vodafone and a dongle.

I wanted to cancel 3 numbers that aren't required and found I was tied in, despite the fact I pay them at least £350 a month (and have done for years) they wouldn't let me cancel the three handsets without extortionate buy outs, it was cheaper to carry on paying the rentals!!!! Grrrrrrr :angry:
