Vodafone’s New 6 Month Deal
Vodafone announced a new six month contract for mobile broadband to address the needs of customers such as students who may be hesitant to commit to longer terms.
The six month contract operates under the terms that customers receive 3GB of monthly downloads and a connection speed up to 7.2MB in exchange for an upfront £29 dongle fee and a £15 a month payment plan.
Vodafone claims that with 3GB of download users can browse online for about 100 hours and download approximately 100 short videos, 200 tracks, and send 2,000 emails. Those who use more than 3GB will be charged £15 per additional GB.
The dongle offers microSD support to aid those who need to work on the go and allows users to use the card as a USB with a maximum of 4GB of memory.
Vodafone is targeting its six month mobile contract plan at students, but it may be more popular among cash conscious customers who want the ability to shop around for the best contract plan at will.
Marketing director at Top 10 broadband, Alex Buttle, commented that with a decrease in the amount of part time jobs and the high fees of top up purchases, it is harder for students to stay out of debt which may make the new Vodafone plan more appealing to students.
Vodafone also announced last week that they will soon launch a device to strengthen 3G signals within their own home that will go on sale July 1st for £160 upfront or an additional £15 per month for contract plan consumers.
