Re: Vodafone datacard & GPRS (spit)
Vodafone were pretty awful when I bought the Blackberry. We were away for a month and it was vital that I had email on the boat. The Blackberry appealed to me, not just because it could send and receive email and had the facility to redirect email from other accounts like Hotmail but also because it has a querty keyboard and is easily transportable. So far so good except that we failed to find out from the shop staff how much the data was going to cost us when abroad. No amount of computer searching by them produced an answer. Amazing thing is they know exactly what the cost is when they bill you!
We needn't have worried about the cost in the event. Despite our repeated requests that there be no international call bar and assurances that because it was tagged onto an existing mobile contract the bar would be lifted, when we got to France the phone didn't work because the bar was still there!
We did lever a refund for the wasted month's contract from Vodafone but it was so frustrating.
However it got sorted in the end and worked brilliantly next time but they do seem to have a serious organisation problem
