Vodafone’s ‘data test drive’ offer

I walked by the Vodafone store in Richmond yesterday and was delighted to see this special offer being advertised in the window. The concept is simple: Use as much data as you like on a new contract for three months, then choose a data package at that point. This makes perfect sense and should reassure new customers who worry about what data plan will suit them. I really like to see these kinds of smart offers. Good work Vodafone!

  1. It really is a great idea & I admire BigRed for taking this jump. but at the end of the 3 months there’s not a great selection of data allowances to chose from. The options only go up to 1GB on the highest tariffs. Even after that usage it’s an extra £5 for 250MB. That’s down from the 500MB that we used to be given. I don’t think Big Red have thought it thru enough if someone uses 2GB or even 4GB a month. I know there’s two Add On options but they’re priced the same as mobile broadband tariffs. 1GB £10. 2GB £15.
    You see what I mean?

  2. It’s a shame their iPhone 4S tariffs don’t include a lot more data. They seem to be simply delaying the inevitable backlash from customers who want to actually use their smartphone.

  3. Or hoping that folk just accept it and use their phones on the wifi at home (and work, if possible)?
    Agreed it is rather limiting :/

  4. I don’t know about this. I tried Vodafone with my iPad from the chancery lane store earlier this year and pretty much everywhere in North London that I went, I had GPRS when I needed 3G!

  5. I have had a contract for over a year now with Vodafone I got the tex about the data test drive , do you know when it starts and what are the pros and cons about this , thank you
