I just did a visit to the Vodafone UK homepage to see what’s cooking.
I think I am losing it.
I sat there for about 10 seconds looking at this ad, and in particular, this text:
With 6 months HPLR
HPLR? I’m sat thinking, ‘what, in all that is techy, is HPLR???’
I’m thinking, HPLR? Is that some sort of proprietary double-speed data protocol that I haven’t heard of?
No.
I worked it out.
Half Price Line Rental. Ahhhhhh.
Do consumers know HPLR then? Is this, like the Nokia Menu button thing, well known and just something I’m missing?
WK.
(Who Knows).
Hi Ewan,
Your assistance if possible… I’m thinking of getting a new phone.. For a mobile services specialist my pride in handsets and use of fucntionality is decidely un-mobilista.
I’ve been on Vodafone for a number of years, and am out of contract by 8 or so months, so easy to move/upgrade.
I need:
Around 500-750 voice mins per month. Around 100-200 texts (hopefully a carrier that doesn’t charge 24p to send to Australia, or allows you to use for example 2 messages out of your bundle to text out of the UK. I’d like a camera, and I access work emails on the fly generally via Wap – Imap. I suspect i’ll use the mobile internet/shozu etc more going forward than i have in the past.
Am thinking N73, but not sure what network works best for the international texting, and data rates. Vodafone does do nice itemised billing on excel which allows for easy expensing etc.
Please work your magic 🙂
thanks in advance
Ewan,
