Surely this is not transparrent selling? Iphone 4S £415.84

Now to look on the Vodafone site it states the Iphone 4S is  £415.84p. Everyone will look and go WOW a bargain, until you get to checkout and then you find its PLUS VAT.

 

Here is the link http://shop.vodafone.co.uk/shop/mobile-phone/iphone-4s-16gb-black-payg

 

I think Vodafone are scoring an own goal here and this will put people off.

When I clicked on your link it did show the price including VAT (there is also a toggle top right which allows you to switch). You've probably viewed something on the business part of the site and it's remembering you so quoting ex vat prices which seems sensible enough. If you clear out your cookies and click on your link again it will probably default to include vat.

I know but if you have previously been in the business part it sometimes seems to keep this as a default selection even when you go through the personal part. I've seen this with price plans. Just try deleting all or just the relevant cookie and you should be fine.

Does it change if you hit the big Prices Inc Vat button at the top right?

As the Prices ex Vat button is currently active and blue.

Yes it does change and it remembers the last setting.I think just a cookie that the OP needs to clear. For most people who visit the site it will default to inc vat.

Clicking on the link shows the price as £499.
