      Hey mate can you please explain?

    • Morien on 31/10/2020 - 13:51

      From what I hear (ex employee), after merging they have a new CEO over the entire group who has a much different reputation than David Teo did. For whatever that’s worth to you.

      Also the new group is poised to have the best 5G network if that is something you are interested in.

      Source: a brief conversation I had with a current employee. So, take it as meaning as much as any comment you’d read here.

      • Xizor on 31/10/2020 - 14:03

        The "new" CEO is the existing Vodafone CEO Inaki Berotta. David Teo is now the executive chairman/board.

        How exactly can Voda have the best 5G network? They’ve never once gone to the effort of having the largest or fastest network, and to date their rollout progress has been slower than Optus and Telstra. There’s literally nothing that objectively suggests Voda can come out and suddenly become the best operator at 5G

  • TheDukeOfNukem on 31/10/2020 - 13:06

    I'm not one to go on a plan since I never use the internet on my phone and can get a year for around 100$ of unlimited calls / text and more internet than I'd ever use,

    but I will stop by and say this is definitely one of the better plans I've seen. Had I not FINALLY ordered a new (similarly spec'd) phone a week or so back, I'd be very tempted to get this and kill my home internet for a year since it's essentially unlimited, but slow.

      Yes, heaven forbid we encourage competition. As always with mobile, go with who meets your requirements in your area. I get over 200mbps indoors on vodafone where i live, but at my mothers place i struggle to get 20mbps. I can say the same for Optus and Telstra for different areas. That's mobile.

      • Geekomatic on 01/11/2020 - 15:50

        I help older folks with setting their phone plans. When they tell me they saw "a great deal" and that the sales person verified their area is covered, I just tell them that the only way to know is to have someone on that service, with the same phone, come to your house and prove it.

      Driving the north coast of NSW I find what kml22 says to be true. I am comparing it to Optus in that area.
      The very cheap deals with Voda/Kogan make up for the lack of connectivity at times though.

    Vodafone $36 Per Month 50GB, Unlimited Calls/SMS

    Am I missing something? $36/month plan (called Lite) has $50 Gb data but it not Unlimited Calls/SMS. "Unlimited standard national calls and texts" starts with Lite+ ($40 per month) and 60 Gb data per month.

      Whenever you change plans with Vodafone, your next bill will only be the plan you have changed to. There are no pro-rata charges for phone upgrades. If you change to this plan in the middle of a billing month, your next bill will be the next plan.

    T&C says "Tethering permitted to personal devices only, but must not be used in a modem or as a substitute for a home internet service."

              @pat25d: Up untill two years ago, I could not use a mobile phone sim in a modem for Telstra and Optus,

              only with Vodafone you could. Now all three allow that.

            • [Deactivated] on 31/10/2020 - 22:21

              @pat25d: None of the three networks cares anymore about using a voice plan in a modem, now that Telstra and Optus don't have ADSL and HFC to flog they're all happy to siphon those fixed broadband customers off the NBN.

              The prohibition against putting it in a modem is a cover your arse clause to stop people from using the $45 10/10 plan in a seed box and sucking up multiple terabytes per month. If you run under ~200GB-300GB a month they aren't going to care very much.

        • knk on 01/11/2020 - 15:12

          Since some carriers block use inside of modems I'd say its got something to do with the imei or mac of the modem or something.

          Either way, to get around this get a phone, tether off it and then get an access point in client mode to act as a client to the phone. Then ethernet from acess point to your router for internet access. A mikrotik hap mini or hap lite is good for this at the ~$30 price point.

          You could even take it a step further and VPN all traffic at the router level so they have no idea what you're using the connection for.

      Cheapest Optus plan on offer (https://www.optus.com.au/mobile/plans/shop) is 10GB for $39 with no International calls or text included.

      At the same $40 price, Vodafone will do 60GB (then shaped to 2mbps), plus 100 mins for Zone 1 Standard international minutes from Australia & Unlimited standard national calls and texts https://www.vodafone.com.au/plans/sim-only

    • T-man on 31/10/2020 - 19:55

      If you watch a Netflix video on a 5G network will use more data on the same video on 3G or 4G network, it is a 480p video not a 4K video because of the slow internet. Also, I use a lot of data for uploading high res videos and photos, average 3 to 5Gb per day.

    After using all 3 networks, Vodafone, Optus and Telstra, I can't use any other network apart from Telstra. The data speed and coverage is unmatched, I can't stand the other two, constant dropped calls, very slow date…

    • [Deactivated] on 31/10/2020 - 23:01

      Yeah, Optus is the worst teleco I've ever dealt with and the network disappears after you hit the blue mountains. Vodafone works well where it works, but is clearly positioned as a no frills budget carrier with metro-only coverage. Which is just fine if you're using it for that.

      I'm on Boost for regional (full Telstra network) coverage, and vodafone for home broadband and $5 per day overseas roaming. Vodafone speed is spectacular where I live, reliably greater than 100Mbit download.

          Vodafone has an offer where you can pay $5 day and in selected countries you can use your allowance as if you are in Australia, it's not bad, but even before covid I don't travel enough to justify this.
          When I travel for work, I roam with Telstra which is reimbursed, so don't really have a need for the $5 roaming offer.
