Data boost

[stevew71]

Does anybody else think the 2GB 7 day data boost is irresponsible. Vulnerable people getting extra data for 7 days will increase their use and then get used to it and then all of s sudden the offer is over but they ate now using data with the extra usage in mind. Vodafone can then charge people for going over the limit. It looks great from them they are giving data away but they are getting money back in extra charges from vulnerable people that forget to readjust.

If you activate the offer then look at the My Vodafone App it will include the extra data. Right now mine says you have XGB left out of 6GB, whereas it usally says X left out of 4GB. Any data you use at that time comes out of that extra data

In a week when the boost expires it will drop back to X out of 4GB but will ignore the extra data that you've used.

Example:

• you have an allowance of 4GB and have used 1GB so far (so 3GB left).
• You then accept the boost of 2GB so the app will say " you have 5GB (3+2) of 6GB (4+2) left".  
• You use 1GB of data over the next week so the app says "you have 4GB of 6GB left"
• After a week the boost expires and the app will say "you have 3GB of 4GB left" you lose the extra free 1GB
• If you used 3GB of data during that period you will have used all the boost and 1GB of your allowance so on expiry the app will say "you have 2GB of 4GB left"

Hope that helps!
