Vodafones unlimited calling also isn't really unlimited. It has a fair use policy, which means they can cancel it at any time if they deem your usage is too high as per this article www.nzherald.co.nz If they can provide 'unlimited' calling for just $40 per month over their gsm network for this device, why can' they do this for normal mobile calling, as it must be using the same amount of resources. Or are mobile phone callers subsidizing this service. |
