Traditionally a
network that focuses strongly on data (geek fact of the day
– the name Vodafone is made up of VOice and DAta Fone)
Vodafone too have a variety of plans available for all types
of usage, including fixed term contracts over 12, 18 or 24
months and a PAYG option.
Vodafone fare
well for coverage, and also for speed, offering two types of
USB modems, the Stick Modem and Stick Modem Pro. The Stick
Modem will handle speeds of up to 3.6Mbps where coverage is
available, whilst the Stick Modem Pro will take speeds up to
7.2Mbps. The PAYG offering is only available on the standard
3.6Mbps modem.
12, 18, 24 month
option
£15 Monthly
Cost with a 3GB Allowance
£25 Monthly Cost with a 5GB Allowance
The plans are simple enough, and are the same for whichever
contract option and whichever usb modem you choose. The
incentive for signing the longer contracts come in a special
offer Vodafone are currently offering, with the first three
months on an 18 month contract charged at £10 per month on
the 3GB data tariff, or the first three months totally free
on a 24 month 3GB a month package. On the 24 month 5GB deal,
the first three months are just £15 a month.
Vodafone also
offer a PAYG USB Modem, and it is the only PAYG option currently on the market with no time expiry on
the top up. This makes it an excellent choice for the
infrequent traveller, because the data lasts for as long as
it takes you to use it. With other networks, if you do not
use in a month the data you have purchased, you lose what is
remaining and will have to top up again to keep using the
product. Top ups for the Vodafone dongle cost £15 which buys
1GB of data
Out of bundle charges on Vodafone are charged in 1GB
increments, the current rate is currently £15 per GB.
Another option on Vodafone USB Modem is the option to
purchase a Samsung NC10 Notebook with mobile connectivity
already built in. No need for a modem, as all the
technology, SIM card included, is built into the device.
Vodafone offer the NC10 free on two tariffs, both 24 month
agreements:
£25 Monthly Cost with 1GB Allowance
£30 Monthly Cost with 3GB Allowance
The NC10 is
superior to the Dell notebook previously sold by Vodafone,
with a much clearer screen, better spec and a much improved
keyboard. Out of bundle data charges on the notebook are
equivalent to the charges on the USB Modems.
