I have a monthly contract with vodafone with 250 free text messages - how do
I find out how much I have used.
With the old pay as you go I could type in
*#1345#
but this does not seem to work on the contract phone.

That's because it's a contract and not payt.
Set up online billing so you can view your bill, or you need to speak
to customer services, free by dialing 191 from your phone.

You can register for their online billing service vide
www.vodafone.co.uk
or
dial 191 p2p1 this generates a text message with the info you want on
it.
Only problem is I have found it takes anything upto 4 days to update,
so much of the info is historic.

Or dial 44555, which is quicker.

"Unfortunately, your mobile number is not eligible for this service."
It worked fine last week! So what changed?

Re: Vodafone Balance
Right, so 44555 has stopped working,
*#1345# is only for PAYG
Online billing is based on days old numbers.
Is there any way of viewing current info?
I asked CS and they suggested calling them each time?!

Re: Vodafone Balance
This is something that is really pissing me off ebout Vodafone - there
is no facility to find out how many minutes you have left each month -
which is important considering roll over. You can only find out how
many minutes you have used which is less than useless and even then,
the information is often 5 days old. The idea that you should phone
c.s. for this basic service is a joke - and in any case information
received from them is often inaccurate. I just cant see how a company
can operate like this - its such a basic requirement with a monthly
contract.

So how about using the call timers on your phone?

That is actually a really good idea.
Except I'm on that Stop-the-clock thing that would make that
unworkable.
Do most Voda contracts include rollover?

The problem with call timers is that they time *all* calls, even
non-chargeable ones. How do you work out the chargeable amount of time
from the non-chargeable..?

You would have to estimate of course. But for most people who phone 01,
02 and 07 it's not going to be a huge problem as most if not all
contracts include cross network and landline.

Re: Vodafone Balance
er.... call me old fashioned but isn't this missing the point by a huge
margin? Don't you think it might be a good idea for Vodafone to get
themselves sorted? How come they can't manage it, yet every other
company can? Call a number, get told how many minutes you have left.
Simple? Not for Vodafone.

Yet they alone in the UK can manage *#100# to find your own number.
