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?

You can sign up for unlimited data on a Blackberry account.

I don't know if you can add the £5 per month option to your existing account though. A quick 191 will confirm.

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

What I always hated was the way the contract was worded in such a way that a data session was never defined. This was really important as there was a minimum cost to each session.
I have seen bills where users have gone from one web site to another and each time was subject to a new minimum session cost. The resulting bill was very long and very expensive. This was deceitful of them at best.

How about shifting to the Bold on 3 when it launches...?
