| 285289 | 2004-10-28 00:31:00 | Vodafone emailed me saying Great news from Vodafone! Those of you who have been taking advantage of the free access to Vodafone Mail emails sent or received via a Vodafone mobile * - can now do so until 31st January 2005. You don't need to do anything to take advantage of this extended period, just continue to use Vodafone Mail and pay nothing until 1st February. Nearer the time of the end of the promotion we will be in touch to advise you of your pricing options going forward if you wish to continue accessing Vodafone Mail. For more information on this or a reminder of the terms and conditions of the offer visit www.vodafone.co.nz/vodafonemail and select Vodafone Mail Offer from the left hand column. *Free access applies to e-mails sent or received via a Vodafone mobile, other than Blackberry, with a built-in email client and sent over Vodafones GPRS network. If you currently access Vodafone Mail using your Blackberry this will NOT continue to be free after the 31st of October, you will revert back to the standard blackberry pricing, to view this visit www.vodafone.co.nz/blackberry. I'm on a 15mb Gprs Plan.Does that mean I have to pay extra charges inorder to use my email client to retrieve my vodafone email on my mobile after the 31st? HUH? |

| 285291 | 2004-10-28 03:08:00 | Oh well, that is the real world. Many orgs have enticed us onto their service then now make us pay for them. First was vodafone's free 5 txt on theri webpage. It is a shame for those who have really used their vodafone email as there main one. Getting every friend to change their address book is a bit of a bummer. I know how its like when you change numbers and some people have no changed as a result of this :D Some pple have stayed on contracts just to keep their numbers even when they would be better off it. I used to think like this, even going overseas with my NZ # just so people could contact me. I guess it was a good idea that myself did not use their email address. My primary complaint was we could not use it with pop softwares. Or could we? |

| 285292 | 2004-10-28 19:32:00 | Their website didn't say anything about this.I called vodafone and the staff had no idea what i was on about | yingxuan (3330) | ||
| 285293 | 2004-10-28 21:05:00 | If you got that email message and of that length, I assume its gonna be correct but the cust serv team has not been briefted on it. It souinds stupid. Email address are available all the time for free. What is so special about Vodafone's? What people can do is just use their ISP email and use their email client on their phones. There sre even free webmails that allow you to pop them for free. If they take out email they may as well charge us to use SMS as well. I think its a NZ thing. You go to other countries with Vodafone some are competitive as. For instance in Japan they run on J-Phone or Docomo, receive traffic is FREE (include emails and receiving all emails), only sending are charged. Rates are about 30% less than us, not as good as HK or the like thou.. People are just gonna change email address, hey big deal... With NZ phones are emails received real time automatically if you have a email client in the phone Yingxuan? Or do you have to purposely check emails? |

| 285294 | 2004-10-28 21:12:00 | The meaning is pretty plain to me: The promotional honeymoon is about to end and you will have to pay to receive emails. Blackberry users will start paying sooner. So..........where is the flood of outraged posts about the predatory practices of Vodafoney or should that be Scamaphone or perhaps Vodascum??? The silence is deafening.:^O Cheers Billy 8-{) :| |

| 285295 | 2004-10-28 21:16:00 | Billy, correct me if I am wrong, I don't have experience on this. Umm.. but arn't receiving and sending emails charged by vodafone already? Its classed differently to SMS right? I was thinking along the line that vodafone may be charging pple to have an email account, say $5 a month .. | nomad (3693) | ||
| 285296 | 2004-10-28 21:19:00 | Purpose of course.I sell alot of stuff at trademe and I have to regularily check my vodafone email.IF they gonna charge me extra.I might go and complain.Infact I think there will be alot of angry people!! | yingxuan (3330) | ||
| 285297 | 2004-10-28 21:21:00 | At the moment Nomad.The amount you pay is the amount of data you receive.10 cents per 10 kb.But for me im on a 15mb data plan.What interest me is that the site says 10 cents per 10 kb.My emails are normally 3kb.I get charge like 40 cents using my prepay number.What a freak! | yingxuan (3330) | ||
| 285298 | 2004-10-28 21:29:00 | They charge sending data too? Does email client phones have real time check emails? Now you know why I don't use these features. People buy the most fancy phone and call in offpeak and text message. ha! | nomad (3693) | ||
