Hi, I'm writing from The Big Issue. We're thinking of looking into the Vodafone connect card problem. Can those who have had problems with huge bills which they didn't expect or just problems with this card, please get in touch? Either phone 020 7526 3325 or email soniajam@hotmail.com with 'Vodafone connect card' in the subject line. Many thanks. Sonia Zhuravlyova, The Big Issue, Newsdesk.

DO NOT, DO NOT! Purchase the Vodafone connect card. It is the biggest rip-off I have ever come across. I've just gotten a bill for more than 250 euros. I used it 4/5 times a week for a maximum of 2 hours a go. The price is impossible to reconcile with useage.

Hi Folks, My boss used his Canadian GPRS in London and came back with a whopping $3500 bill trying to synchronize his email which has a filter of stripping out attachments larger than 300KB. What is the cheapest way for him to get his email and attachments on his laptop while is visiting the UK monthly? In Canada, we pay $100 per month for unlimited usage, so it did not ocuur to him that it would be that expensive in England... BTW, why is it so expensive in the UK? It seems that this is a real racket, n'est pas? :( Dev Edited 01-24-2005 09:23 PM

Hi Folks ...
I have just bought a Vodafone 3G connect card after using an 02 Aircard and costing quite a bit. I have noticed that where on the Aircard I would have used say 100K for going to a few regular sites, on the Connect card I am using more like 500K ... .it seems that the Vodafone card is downloading much more data than the aircard. Even though i have 300mb/month on the connect card I am going to use it as quick as the aircard :(
Has anybody else noticed large download volumes ?
Cheers,
Dave.

Steve, that's terrible, and I'll look into it right away. Can you mail me with details, and I'll chase T-Mobile? The usual address will be best.
But it's no surprise. If you want GPRS cheaply, buy in bulk. I'm seriously thinking of switching over to the Vodafone 3G service...

T-Mobile charge £7.50 per megabyte transmitted via GPRS, the same for international. After testing with a Laptop in the UK I visited the EU for a week. I received a bill for over £200, and the charges keep coming in. Only retrospectively was I told that the online billing system can take 3 months to update, I have no idea what the final cost will be. Even though costs are supposed to be the same, charges overseas seem to me much more for similar usage in UK. I read somewhere that this is due to the foreign telecom companies re-transmitting data packages when a timely reply is not received. Does anyone have any information on this? If true, it means that the information given to me by T-mobile may have been misleading, and I may have some means of redress. Overall, the cost of the data usage was more than double the cost of the holiday - heartbreaking. Had I known these astronomical costs in advance, I would have used an Internet Cafe for €1.20 an hour. I have now disconnected the GPRS service.

Hopefully with the "all you can eat" offer, they will have the capacity to back it up.. Since Or*nge improved my GPRS allocation I frequently have trouble connecting with it, and now have to use the (paid for) GSM diallup option instead..
