Telecom is increasing the price of basically an essential service, across the entire country, by $2.35 per month. Bit of a difference. Well you can always "Opt out" and get a cell phone and pay more percall.. By the way has your property rates gone up, Sky TV, Fuel, Food over the past year??	paulw (1826)

By the way has your property rates gone up, Sky TV, Fuel, Food over the past year??Prperty rates, fuel, food and other costs are something we can expect to increase because a growing population is consuming a more limited resource, however, with telecomunications the greater the population density, the cheaper per head the service become to provide, so how come now that theres over 2 million vodafones out there, the cost per use now increases? Suggested reason: To see if people will pay it?	personthingy (1670)

Vodafone are using this fact to their advantage. I am sure there are many voda customers are purely with them because of this fact. For them 10c or 50% increase is a HUGE!! increase. And even though this only applies to prepaid customers, if they were to change to a plan with vodafone then they have to change their phone numbers, so they are screwed either way.	sam m (517)

Changing fom telecom to vodafone, or back not only means a change of phone number, but a change of hardware.. This applies to prepay and contracted users.	personthingy (1670)

So my point is if someone on prepaid making intl texts wants to avoid the 50% increase by changing to plan also have to consider getting a new number - unless voda have changed their policy.	sam m (517)

I was on the Motormouth Plan (200 anytime minutes to Vodafone mobiles) but switched to the Get 60 or something which means for the same price ($40) I can make 60 minutes of calls, any time, to any number in NZ. This includes 027 and landlines! Then I threw (for an extra 10 bux) 1000 txts to 021s on top of it! Best money-saving Ive done in a long time. Last months phone bill was only $86 and this includes my $15 for GPRS Data usage! Previosu 3 months it had been between $120 and $135	Chilling_Silence (9)
