Morning Forum;


i have a Storm 1 and a voda broadband dongle. i have always asked and wated justot have one deviice with the relevant plans on it, maybe 2 t ocover my calls and my dtaa calls. now i see here:

http://online.vodafone.co.uk/dispatch/Port...;pageID=BS_0214

that i can..

do i understand that i can ditch the dongle and tether my storm to my laptop? how does the plans work? can i add my 3GB for £15 plan to my storm plan so i have 2 plans on it? do i need to?

also, and sorry for numerous questions but i normally get much more out of the forum than the end of the phone, i see that finally someone notably voda have offered up time limit free data credit so i actually dont need the monthly plan as i am out of my contract and can just buy credit for the storm and tether that. is that right?

Hi Andi,

I can see that there are a few different questions raised here and you can find the answerds below;

As you currently have an agreement with us you can get up to 5GB of data included in your plan.

If you are using the BIS services then you can up the usage to 5GB from 500 MB and will cost a total of £22.50.

This charge includes your BIS activation and service.

unfortunately these plans arn't available on a PAYG phone and you would incurr a daily rate charge of 50p per 25MB.

In my opinion it would be more benaficial to use the via the phone and tether you blackberry top your PC which will enable to USB charging at the same time and pay the £22.50 for this service.

If you have any other queries let me know.

not sure if anyone is still lsitening to this thread...... but can i get the time limit free data pre pay on my storm? i dont use the dongle much so thinking of ditching it and buyingthis time free data credit thus when i need ot use it i can hook up the storm and use it with out using the 50p per 25MB which would prob cost me more on one use than my current £15 a month

Hi Mumbles27,

Mobile Broadband Via The Phone will not work on Pay As You Go plans sadly.

Also, just to clear up confusion, it isn't 50 pence per 25 megabyte on PAYG data:

For just 50p a day you can use up to 25MB of data this works out at 2p per MB. If you go over your 25MB limit, we’ll get in touch – so you know where you stand. It won't class as another 50p, and is a fair use policy. Also, you can’t use data services like making calls over the internet or sharing data files over the internet when you pay as you browse.

I trust this clears things up, but if you need any further info, head over to our data costs page.

Let us know if you need anything else!
