Mobile Nokia N95 Thoughts Vodafone

Are Vodafone trying to hide a data billing issue ?

In the effort to find lower cost wireless data access I like I’m sure many others signed up to the new Vodafone “Mobile Internet” tariff for data access on my N95.

This offers be 120Mb of data per month for £7.50 or $15.00 – not brilliant value but OK !

So imagine my surprise when I got a monthly bill for well over £100 ($200), of course I went straight to the vodafone website to check my bill, but all I got was this..

Vodafone online billing

The online billing part of the Vodafone website has been broken for at least the last week ? Could this be anything to do with vodafone billing its customers the old and very expensive tariff for data by mistake ?

I waiting now for a paper bill to see why my last months bill is three or four times what it usually is – some coincidence don’t you think ?

Check you bills vodafone customers !!

We were joking in the office last week, while preparing for the launch of sky in Goggle earth, how long would it take for somebody to mash-up the USS enterprise somewhere in the universe.

Well we were close in our estimates,Captain Kirk was found within a few hours !

The first CD meme..

Brothers in ArmsListened to the latest TWiT podcast on the tube this evening, which had a great segment “What was the first CD you bought”, as it is 25 years since Music CD’s were introduced by Phillips and Sony.

It seems i share the dubious honour of sharing Dire Straits, “Brothers in Arms” as my first purchase with John C. Dvorak.

Maybe I am just becoming a Cranky Geek and should just accept it, the music has dated, but as Dvorak says there is still no better way of showing off your Hifi system.

So share the pain, can you remember the first CD you bought ?
