I've got 4 months left. I'm going to fight with them to let me out now, but I doubt I'll get anywhere. I will be parting company with them and I'm never going to enter into another contract with a mobile phone company. I'll buy my own phone from now on and go with a sim-only deal so I know I'll always have the best price plan.

I'm a typical Blackberry user so my phone is my life. I travel around the country 4-days a week so I get my personal and work emails on it. I also use quite a bit of data on Google Maps, National Rail, and any other website you can imagine for travel and keeping in touch (Facebook, Crackberry Forums, etc etc.)

I'm not a big texter because I usually send emails or PIN messages to fellow BB Users.

The only compensation they offered me was erasing the entire bill for the month -- which saved me about £40, so that's not bad.

I still had an issue with my Blackberry data allowance which was only 6MB per month (compared to "unlimited" everyone had been telling me I had) because when I renewed my contract last year I didn't change my price plan.

Eventually someone from the eForum team moved me over to a new price plan without extending my contract so I could get the unlimited data. Unfortunately, in doing so I now no longer have Stop the Clock which means I have to pay more per month to get enough minutes to last me the month -- which means another contract extension.

In other words, I'm screwed no matter which way I go if I stay with Vodafone.

Vodafone have closed my thread because they claim I was "clouding the fact that the issue has been resolved."

But not before they deleted several posts by me and other angry Vodafone cutomers voicing our complaints. Strangely enough, about 20 mins after the thread was closed someone who voiced their support for Vodafone managed to get his reply posted. Obviously a fluke. Vodafone wouldn't selectively post replies in order to sway opinion in their direction.....
