I'm a liar?

My data just ran out after 1Gb, I got a text saying so. I thought this be funny as I have unlimited data. So got in touch with Vodafone to be told I'm lying, we've never done an unlimited data bundle. That's funny I say, why does my screen say 20Gb allowance and called unlimited. No your lying, my screen doesn't say that and if it does take into store. Would it not be easier to be able to post a screen shot. I live absolutely miles from any store. Outrageous customer service to be told more than once I'm lying.

Overnight I started wondering whether you were signed up to the right bundle for your pattern of usage.

 

With a Freebie Data, and topping up £30, you get 1GB of data, and you say you then spend the £30 for other usage. But just 100 UK minutes at 30p per min would get through the whole £30.

 

So I reckon you'd get more usage out of the £15 Big Value Bundle, let alone one of the higher value ones

They all now come with Data Rollover (see the details on the link above), so any data unused in a "light" month would roll forward to the next BVB for a maximum of 30 days. If you travel within Europe, you'd also get the benefit of roaming allowances if you went for the top-end £30 BVB.

 

I realise you may want the present situation sorted out more clearly to your satisfaction, but in the long run you might do well to consider the usage you want from your phone, and consider opting out of the Freebie Data, wait until the current one has expired, then switching to a BVB.

You'd need to hit options in tbe top Rh corner of your post and delete the picture. 

 

Then you can use some form of picture editor to blur or black mark out your number and then re add the edited picture.

On Payg a person can have data rollover where unused data lasts for another month but even though it's saying unlimited on your screen shot Vodafone do not provide unlimited data to Payg or Pay Monthly.

Regardless. My monthly allowance is 20gb. It has ran out at 1gb. No matter if it says unlimited or not as it clearly does.

If this was my situation I'd go back to the store to get this looked at. 

 

Would you let us know what happens ?

 

A new type of Payg account with unlimited data = sign me up :Winking_smiley:

It was called unlimited if you only just had data turned on. Hence the name. It came with 20gb actual data.

@Climhazzard

 

When you top up and your account on Payg refreshes do you keep the actual £20 top up credit amount ?

 

If so this is a freebie Payg Tariff. 

 

What is thought is the £20gpb freebie gives 1gb of data.

The other type of Payg tariff is big Value Bundle where the top up credit is used for the allowances.

I top up by 30. And yes it does stay there, I've just spent the credit else where.

So then yes it's a freebie Payg tariff then. 

 

Im unable to see a freebie £30 option.
