    My phone will be getting discharged a lot this weekend. Still, thanks OP and Vodafone.

  • snappy1234 on 16/10/2014 - 00:42

    What happens with a $2 sim can you just buy a data pack and it will work ? (for calls)

    • skinny on 16/10/2014 - 00:58

      Yes, for existing Postpaid and Prepaid customers. If you join us on or before 19 October, you can still take advantage of our free call offer.

  • oz-dave on 16/10/2014 - 01:35

    Free calls start at 00:01am AEDT on Saturday and finish 18 October and 11:59pm

    join Vodafone on or before 19 October, to take advantage of the free call offer

    Something is not quite right, unless time travel is involved ;-)
    But thanks for letting us know about this Normie :-)
    …

    EDIT : It is much clearer in the Vodafone FAQs

    Any call you make between 00:01am AEDT on Saturday, 18 October and 11:59pm on Sunday, 19 October will cost you nothing.

    If your call starts before 11:59pm on 19 October and/or continues into 20 October, you’ll only be charged for the portion of the call that starts after and/or continues past the promotion period.

    If you join us on or before 19 October, you can still take advantage of our free call offer.

    EDIT-2 : Fixed by Mod :-)

      Hi oz-dave,
      Its my first day here :)

  • daver on 16/10/2014 - 02:51

    Beautifully done Vf, you've done it again (although more coul've probably used AU calls).

    Anyway, easily appraise it for a worth of 30 cents .. as I set forth to commence a $56-world pack/skype subscription, $56/pa; $0.15 day(Voip;-). Ha!

    • skinny on 16/10/2014 - 02:54

      Assuming, you will be able to get through with your overseas call during the promotion period!

      • daver on 16/10/2014 - 03:32

        heheh, perhaps perhaps. Would be fun if net did trump pstn QoS on this freebie-event. Assuming no-crimes-against 'neutrality voda, stays true.

    Speaking of Vodafone been in Australia for 21 years, does anyone remember the old Vodafone ads on tv with Kramer from Seinfeld? Or am I showing my age?

  • aliocroc on 16/10/2014 - 07:11

    Is Ireland included? It's not part of the UK and it's not listed…

    • joahua on 16/10/2014 - 08:30

      Given it's not part of the UK, why would you think it's included?

      • [Deactivated] on 18/10/2014 - 06:50

        But as Belfast Northern Ireland is a part of the UK it should be included.

  • neonlight on 16/10/2014 - 08:08

    What about corporate plans and accounts? Do they work

    • Arghs on 16/10/2014 - 14:19

      I have the same question.
      Anyone know the answer?

    • Associatedtimps @ Vodafone on 17/10/2014 - 17:35

      Every active Vodafone service will be good to go.

  • [Deactivated] on 16/10/2014 - 08:10

    Makes me want to call the "talking clock" in London for two days

      as per the fair use policy:
      2. It is unreasonable use of a Fair Use Promotion where Your participation in a Fair Use Promotion is reasonably considered by Vodafone to be fraudulent or to adversely affect the Vodafone network or another Vodafone customer's use of or access to a Vodafone service or the Vodafone network.

        OK I will call New York talking clock as well

      It's free! Can't complain!

  • grumpyhermit on 16/10/2014 - 12:38

    This should be a permanent feature

  • ITveteran on 16/10/2014 - 13:43

    Hi Rep. I am using Justmobile which is on Vodafone network. Will this promotion work for me?

    No Canada. Disappointing… :(
    Nice for those with loved ones in the selected countries though.

      Times like these.. an Ozbargainer needs to learn how to
      Hangout

  • ProjectZero on 16/10/2014 - 16:31

    Sweet, I have unlimited international calls on my bday =)

    Now if only i actually liked talking on the phone…

    -EDIT-

    Actually, what happens if I'm on the $50 Red plan… does this eat into my 300 free minutes before getting free international or does this bypass the free 300 minutes?

  • King Tightarse on 16/10/2014 - 16:36

    Wow India is included - MISTAKE! Lol that'll cost them.
    Never seen an Indian without a phone welded to his head.

    • NigelTufnel on 16/10/2014 - 16:43

      Hmmmm…?

      • King Tightarse on 16/10/2014 - 16:44

        More of an observation with a Lol.

        • Wally on 18/10/2014 - 11:35

          Isn't that what that suspended Sydney Uni Professor tried to use as an excuse … ;-)

        • King Tightarse on 18/10/2014 - 16:49

          @Wally:
          Apparently he was playing a "whimsical linguistic game" with a friend.

    • ProjectZero on 16/10/2014 - 16:54

      Errr… I have… plenty actually…

      • ProjectZero on 16/10/2014 - 17:53

        Oh boy, probably didn't make myself clear, I've seen plenty of Indians without a phone welded to their heads… hell plenty of my friends ARE Indian

        Seriously, no racism intended before.

          it's still a novelty for them to hear a phone ring in a rural Indian village

    • tdw on 16/10/2014 - 17:06
      +1

      students in general (both international and local) seem to be glued to their phones. sometimes i'll pop into the library at uni, come back out 30 minutes later and see the same person still talking on their phone. sheesh.

    • suicine94 on 18/10/2014 - 11:32

      avoid taxis this weekend, more likely to be distracted and crash

      • tdw on 19/10/2014 - 22:33

        lol with the way the majority of taxi drivers drive, they're just accidents waiting to happen as it is

    • yabree17 on 18/10/2014 - 12:30

      super true

    • Baba Firangi on 18/10/2014 - 14:48

      @King Tightarse, never mind…

      You did point it right though, the sheer volume of Business that Vodafone India generates, outstrips that of many countries combined..

      • King Tightarse on 18/10/2014 - 16:44

        This is a FREEBIE. Total profit=negative.

        • QF1 on 19/10/2014 - 22:22

          Not really…most callers will be advertising for Vodafone this weekend and it looks like the selected countries has vodafone as a service provider

  • theoneandonlylml on 16/10/2014 - 17:22

    i just so happened to port out of vodafone. damn it.

    • King Tightarse on 16/10/2014 - 17:27

      I think it works with a $2 prepaid SIM. Easy to rejoin if you like.

  • w0mbat on 16/10/2014 - 18:52

    USA but not Canada? :-(

    Anyone know the number for the head chef of India? Want to call and thank them for their cuisine.

  • paloverde88 on 18/10/2014 - 12:04

    Was told you cannot just buy a $2 Sim activate then do the free deal was told you still need minimum $10 recharge regardless so really not free if you are thinking activation of $2 Sim means you can enjoy this deal.
    Was told by their India call center.

  • gimme on 18/10/2014 - 20:15

    People still use pstn for intl calls these days?

  • daver on 19/10/2014 - 06:22
