Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / February 2008Vodafone European broadband
Our company travels a lot around Europe and we're currently looking at options for wireless broadband, none of which are so good as to make us go "yup, that's the one". The Vodafone £25 a month for unlimited looks good for the UK but it's always roaming that kills it. It says on their website: £8.50 per 24 hours in selected countries £4.25 per MB after this How's the £4.25 per MB bit work? Is there a limit on that £8.50 per day part after which you pay the £4.25. We use Citrix as our remote solution and this eats up ~2MB/hour so @ £4.25/MB, we could quickly run up some large bills. So large, that it's better to go and find a wireless hotspot.

Perhaps "per 24 hrs" is not "per day"? It could be accumulated time - which would be a disaster for you :-( I wonder if nipping over the border (by provider selection, not physically) for a few minutes would reset the count? ;-)  SignaturePeeGee The reply address is a spam trap.

It's £8.50 per day plus vat, so £9.99 for 50mb then £4.25 per meg after that, so £5 once vat is added.

The £8.50 per day is for certain countries. The £4.25 per MB is for countries outside of this. That isn't too bad for our European travellers as they will only probably want to use it for a couple of hours on Citrix which will use about 10MB. What we need to ascertain now is whether they have a data tariff like that for a 3G mobile phone. The idea would be that their phone is always on wireless and would be occasionally used to connect via Bluetooth to their laptop as a 3G modem. Cheers, Rob. |
