Okay, this is not the official post for today, that will be a little later on. This is just a quick post to explain what has happened so far.
Vodafone released their official plans for iPhone 3G this morning here in Australia and they are very similar to the leaked plans of yesterday, except for the cheaper plans … they do not exist!
So, my mild support of Vodafone has disappeared, I called them this morning and got my early exit payout price and I am ready to head down to an Optus shop tomorrow to defect to Optus.
I am not defecting yet … why?
I spoke to a wonderful person at Vodafone called Nicky who was very supportive and horrified at the prices that Vodafone is offering, she spent a great deal of time talking to me and even tried to speak to the loyalty department for me, she was surprised that she couldn’t get through because there was a long line of people calling them, I wasn’t. I’m sure that there are huge numbers of people that are about to defect. Vodafone has botched this release by, at the very least, not matching the prices of the other carriers.
I gave her my email address, info@geekactually.com, and she had my number and I told her that if Vodafone wanted to contact me about this, and go on record, I would love to hear from them.
I will post again in the afternoon.
