Received an email from Vodafone advicing that they are automatically moving the old $50 Red Plan to a new one which has more international minutes but no allowance for the country that I need to call. It does add an extra 4GB of data to "compensate" for this.
Just wondering whether anyone has had any success in negotiating to keep the old 300 Minutes with no restrictions on the countries.
Based on the the $40 Optus becomes a better deal due to more data.
Excerpt of the plan details below:
We're contacting you today to let you know that we will be automatically moving you onto our current $50 SIM Only month to month plan1 from the 8th August, 2016.
Below you'll find the details of your new plan inclusions as well as answers to questions you may have about this change.
If you like to call internationally, your preferred country may no longer be included on our list of countries you can call. So, to help you explore online messaging service options, like Skype and WhatsApp, we're giving you an additional 4GB BONUS data4 as outlined below.
