    Unlimited internet with 02 may not be all you expect. 02 have cut down there monthly internet data a little to make it nearly the same as there pay and go customers like me.

    I didn't think O2 did 'unlimited' now anyway, thought they just sell 'Bolt ons' now increasing the data?

    Customer Service on VF is pretty good if that matters to you.

    They do. O2 is more flexible now. You pick your tariff and then pick the data package you want to add. 250MB, 500MB or 1GB per month. Each of the packages includes tethering too.

    I don't do much calling or texting, but I do use quite a bit of data, so I opted for the lowest tariff but biggest data pack. It was still less than I paid last year. Had to pay a bit extra for the phone, but that was OK.

    So where's the unlimited then?

    I was answering the bit saying "they just do bolt-ons now", not the unlimited bit.

    One point to note about new Vodafone contracts is that there is a minimum call charge of 1 minute. So lets say you make short calls or they go to voice mail then you will use up your minutes pretty quickly!

    When did they start this? I knew Virgin Mobile had started this years ago but didn't realise Vodafone did too
