Vodafone UK Abolishes Roaming Charges for Summer and Permanently Cuts the Price Of Calling Abroad from the UK - Vodafone

Pity my Vodafone UK card has expired... Pity that promotion is for a limited period only.

Postpaid Vodafone Hungary customers choosing the "Europa" plan can call and divert their calls to Vodafone UK numbers for less than 0.09 EUR/min gross at today's HUF/EUR rate. That was why I had a Vodafone UK and Vodafone HU card when I was working in the UK. Now that would cover several other countries as well.

If you have a UK address, up to four free pay as you go vodaphone sims can be ordered online here:

https://www.v-store.co.uk/index.cfm?...eeSims.details

There's no minimum term contract, no strings attached – and delivery is free.

babble · **Calling abroad from UK looks interesting -** 14-05-2009, 18:13

Calling abroad FROM UK ONLY - costs 5p/min with the PAYG sim to landlines in the following countries:

Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Lithuania, Latvia, Slovakia,
Thailand, Turkey, China, Hong Kong, Russia, Nigeria, India and Pakistan.

Does anyone know if free DIDs are available for any the countries listed above?

babble · **Terms and conditions of the free sim offer -** 14-05-2009, 18:23

I have just read the terms and conditions of the free sim offer. In this text vodafone refers to the Anynet and Anytime tariffs - not the Simply tariff, which is the PAYG tariff for receiving free incoming european calls this summer. What a pity!

Perhaps it´s worth ordering a free vodafone sim anyway.

babble · **New PAYG sims are perhaps on the Simply tariff -** 14-05-2009, 18:38

I have just found a page on the vodafone website that says that the older Anynet and Anytime tariffs are no longer available. My guess is that vodafone is shipping new PAYG sims that are on the Simply tariff.

babble · **Free DIDs available for Romania? -** 14-05-2009, 18:57

According to this list, free DIDs are available for Romania, and perhaps Pakistan.

Well, they still want, according to the above, 99p to call the USA and Canada...hardly a bargain eh.

If used within the UK to call US/Canada, it's a bargain at 5p/min.
