Reckon Vodafone must be hurting....

My wife was experiencing issues with her iPhone 3G with 3. Dodgy reception - would go on roaming and not go back to 3G service. We had turned data off when roaming, but somehow each month we would get a small charge (1 or 2 dollars).

Rang 3 helpdesk to see how long was left on her contract so we could terminate it, they put me through to priority service who offered to move her to Vodafone, waive the 6 months left on the 3 contract, and also knocked $10 per month off the handset repayment.

She now has an iPhone 4 16GB on a $45 unlimited plan (unlimited calls to landlines & mobiles & unlimited SMS) + $8 handset repayments.

My mate had recently moved from 3 to Vodafone and reckons his reception was fine. So far (a week on), the Mrs is happy with the reception, and no call drop outs.

Worst case scenario, if it turns to shit, call TIO and complain to exit. Go straight to Telstra.
