OK, per request from the other HTC Legend thread…
If you’re a member of one of the motoring clubs (NRMA, RACV, etc), you
might want to check out Vodafone. They currently have the HTC Legend for $0 repayment on their 12-month $29 cap.
Navigate to the link below:
http://store.vodafone.com.au/handset-htc-legend.aspx?company…
Then select '12 month'.
By my calculation, your min cost over 12 months should be (after 10% discount and 3 months free access):
$29 * 10% off * 9 months = $234.9
(plus, possibly, $84 moneybackco cashback for those who managed)
Which is outstanding value for a pocketable Android 2.2 phone with such strong specs. And it comes with a cap with 200mb data!
Be warned, though, that Voda’s customer service (or the lack of it, really) is shocking! Have a look at discussions on whirlpool!
When I asked Vodafone on Thursday why am I owing anything at all when my last month's usage was below $180 I too was told that it is monthly fee. Then I insisted that I am on a 12-month $29 plan with first three months free and 10% off and hence my monthly fee of $26.10 should start only from 4th month onwards. The nice and helpful girl, after talking to her supervisor, said that they will look into it as soon as the bill appears on my account. Yesterday the girl called to apologitically say that although the bill has appeared it is still inaccessible (it did not open when I too tried) and she will do the needful as soon as possible and call me again to confirm. Today I found that the new bill has disappeared from my account but the amount owing has remained unchanged.
My data entitlement has come down from 300MB last month to 150MB this month. Is it the same for anyone else here?
