Vodafone UK Abolishes Roaming Charges for Summer and cuts long distance cost for good

babble · **Germans not to receive british vodafone package -** 14-05-2009, 21:56

The german media are reporting that a spokesperson has said that vodafone Germany has no plans to offer the british package to its german customers.

We´ll see what happens when the official statement is reported in the german newspapers tomorrow.

German denial from vodafone: Aktion: Vodafone UK verzichtet auf Roaming-Entgelte - teltarif.de News

babble · **"Vodafone International" to be launched tomorrow -** 14-05-2009, 22:29

The new british tariff is to have a snappy name: "Vodafone International".

Vodafone must surely realise that its customers in other countries will want this tariff as well!

Well obviously, if I were in Germany even if I didn't go to the UK, I could easily pick up a vodafone UK sim card for next to nothing on ebay, top it up with a vodafone de voucher, and be able to make calls for 5p/minute within Germany and almost the entire eu as well as Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada and China (in the last 3 also to mobile numbers) and 20p/minute to UK numbers both landline and mobile.

How can they not match?

As for Hungary, +36 21 xxx xxxx DID numbers are available for free. These are not landline but "nomadic" numbers (in fact VoIP). Several networks charge as if these were landline. Vodafone Hungary (how funny) have set a HIGH fee for calling these numbers. I would wonder what Vodafone UK charges.

So here are some of Vodafone´s european roaming charges this summer:

Vodafone UK: 0c connection charge within Europe with "Vodafone Passport". (Free european roaming)
Vodafone Germany: 75c connection charge within Europe with "Vodafone ReiseVersprechen".
Vodafone Ireland: 79c connection charge within Europe with "Vodafone Passport".
Vodafone Spain: 115c connection charge within Europe with "Vodafone Passport".

I don´t understand why vodafone´s customers outside the UK are not complaining. The media in Germany, Ireland and Spain don´t seem to understand how their citizens are going to be "treated" by vodafone.

Perhaps Inquistor, dg7feq, 9ero9 and Henning can spread the news in Germany. Perhaps PatPhelan can complain in Ireland, if he still has a vodafone sim.

Pat, Good luck with the launch of your 4th generation maxRoam sim in June!

And what should Vodafone Hungary customers say about the Vodafone Passport offer here: cca. 1.03 EUR / connection fee, which is to be paid every 10 minutes started!...
