Voadfone Live! Browsing - now free

mattworld · 03-02-2005, 22:03

Apparently, browsing Vodafone's Live! service is now free via 3G and GPRS, all you pay for is any content - such as ring tones - that you download. Non Voadfone Live! pages are still charged at the normal rate though.

I know that 3G browsing has been free since launch, but didn't know GPRS was as well.

Excellent!

Can anybody on Vodafone confirm if "Vodafone Mail" is free of charge or not? Many thanks

Most probably - have just checked with my partner and he can get on it OK

Now that is good. I used to have a bill for a couple of quid each month when on Voda just for looking around live.

It's one of the things I liked about 3's walled garden - I knew I'd be charged nothing no matter how much I browsed.

How long before O2, Orange & T-Mobile respond making their Portals 100% free?

Is this permanant does anyone know ? I just brought the new Sharp 902 3G handset last week went to download a video and cost me like £2 to download it and i had to pay for wap charges :S

I believe it is permanent, they mentioned the new pricing at their 3G launch event as a permanent feature of their 3G offering, what they didn't say, or at leat I didn't pick up on, was that it would extend to GPRS as well.
