The Bold is coming to Voda on 1st September (provisional date). It's rather swanky :-)

Anyone had the price increase letter from Vodafone on minimum call charges? I wonder if the unfair contract terms applies here as we are locked into Vodafone contracts and they can up prices without an opportunity to cancel?
