Then either (a) serve notice under the terms of your contract with them and stop paying or (b) go immediately to court and get them to rule in the matter.
Either way it'll end up in court and only a court will be able to interpret whether you have grounds to cancel without charge. (Personally I would take option b, but only after exhausting any discussion on the matter directly with Vodafone)
I doubt Vodafone would have asked OFCOM if they could change their terms, because as I posted in post#2 they certainly have every right to amend their terms and conditions as they have. What is in dispute is whether in your particular case you can cancel without charge assuming Vodafone introduce those charges to you.
Personally if I was vodafone presented with such a summons, I would either offer you 1 free MMS in return for 3 standard texts per month, or if that was too difficult to bill on a one off basis, a credit of 30p per month and in both instances, keep you tied to the contract.
As you can see, it could result in a lot of effort for you for very little reward.
