    Hey cam u give me proof of that? Vodafone.in still shows only the old plans, and Vodafone Customer Care has no idea what I’m talking about. I have been using the Rs. 699/month for 1GB plan and am desperate to switch..

    Now in Maharashtra circle also Vodafone giving Vodafone Mobile Connect i.e www APN in Rs.95 GPRS pack with 2GB for month, RS.51 with 1GB for 15 days, Rs.16 with 150MB for 3days & Rs.9 with 50MB for 1day usage.
    Previously all above plan were applicable for Vodafone live! usage only. But due to competition from other operators now Vodafone also giving Full Internet with accessing internet through PC by making phone as modem.
    So now one more option added for internet access..
    Speed is also better than Airtel, Aircel, Docomo, Reliance GSM as until yet few are using Vodafone Connect because Vodafone has launched it just now.. Now to check the speed in coming months as many user will come to know about Vodafone connect plan is now cheaper than previously..

    when will it launch full fledged GPRS plan all across India, especially in Mumbai?

    Year 2025 OR after MNP is introduced OR when it is thrown out of India? Vodafone is the sickest and most thick-skinned company I have ever seen in my life of 40 yrs.

    F$#^$% Vodafone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    what the postpaid customers do to the company?

    For companies like Vodafone, Postpaid users means customers with too much money..

    PEOPLE WITH TOO MUCH MONEY WHO DON’T CARE ABOUT THE VALUE OF MONEY AND FOOLISHLY SPEND ON COMPANIES LIKE VODAFONE WHO HAVE A SEPARATE CHARGE AND FINEPRINT/CONDITIONS FOR EVERY TRIVIAL FEATURE. BELIEVE ME THERE ARE LAKHS OF SUCH INDIANS (I KNOW MANY IN MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS CIRCLE). VODAFONE IS THRIVING ONLY ON SUCH STUPID PEOPLE.
    WISH PEOPLE WOULD DONATE THIS MONEY TO THE POOR PEOPLE INSTEAD OF WASTING ON VODAFONE. COME MNP, SOME OF THESE PEOPLE WOULD CERTAINLY SWITCH TO OTHER MOBILE OPERATORS.

    yaah….absolutely right.

    yaa….very true….people r not foolish to use either 199 plan with no free data usage or 499 plan with 10Gb free data usage for one month while other operator offers 2-3GB free data usage at rs.48-98

    @ashok:
    postpaid customers are only those who r paying there money unnecessarily even if no offer is made for them..
    Postpaid users make very less share in their business revenues hence always neglected..
    All VAS r expensive for postpaid users..choose a gud tariff plan n njoy
    no expectations besides good network coverage…

    also, vodafone does not treat its customers equally.. prepaid and postpaid, unlike docomo, rcom etc who have similar or equal kind of offers for its pre+post paid customers. the plans/tariffs vary several times between prepaid and postpaid which is not only illogical but also unfair!
