any advice on how to proceed with this one?

apologies for the length and also if its in the wrong forum... couldnt really work out where to put it :(

Sometime at the beginning of March i called and spoke to a guy in the Vodafone Cancellations team. I explained that i was looking to leave as they didn't have any data bundles.

He explained to me that I could change my contract to a new one which, for the same amount a month (£25) i could have 150 mins (instead of 125... but i would be losing the stop the clock, which i didn't much use anyway) and it would include a text message bundle.. which includes data. Now, I was aware that this USED to be the case (i even questioned him), but he assured me that this was the case as it was a new package. I explained what i use data for so he knew that it should be ok for me.

So i went along with it as it offered me a new phone for a reasonable cost.

I checked my bill for March and my Unbilled charges and it appears i have been charged for Data usage... to the sum of about £30.

To be honest i have little use for the contract if it doesn't include data... i use data for email (not vodafone) and general "emergency" surfing.

In my eyes i have been sold this contract under false pretenses and is tantamount to fraud. I am locked into a contract for 18 months which doesn't include the main selling point for me.

I've called them a couple of times now last week and all they have said is "ooh no the txt msg bundle doesnt include data"... which serves no purpose other than to wind me up. and tell me that the guy who sold it to me should ring me back.. (but he hasnt yet since last week)

:update: just called them again as they have yet to reply to an email i sent them laying out all the details. having explained it all about 3 times to various people i spoke to a woman who went off to check with manager (wouldnt let me speak to them though) and told me there is NOTHING they can do.. they just dont offer any data packages... she doesnt have access to recorded phone conversations and they dont record them all anyway! oooh but she said she would get the 30quid fee wavered from last month.

i asked just what use is that , i'm now stuck in a 18 month contract which i could have took out with a different company and had included data.. she sounded not particually bothered and offered no solution. i can cancel if i like and pay £350 cancellation charge. which is nice.

any ideas on how to proceed?
[General Topics] AlanJC:
Well unless you signed a contract, they are trying to nail you to it by agreeing to a verbal contract, and acceptance of service.

You have used the services, and they have charged you for something you were told would be part of the bundle.

Now, on the face of it, that's still breach of contract, since you made a verbal agreement.

Unless they have evidence of this via a recorded call (which they should have to be honest) then tell them you are going to cancel the agreement due to their breach of contract unless they are willing to honour it.

If it means going to small claims court, then do it, I am fairly certain you would win either by cancellation of the remaining 17 months, or by them agreeing to give you the data.

If you are more interested in the data, then you can always write to their data protection governance officer, and request any and all information they hold on you, including recorded voice calls, it would be helpful if you could tell them the dates, and if this exists, they have to provide it to you by law.

Then you can use that as evidence to make them agree to the terms, or to cancel the contract.

I had a problem with T Mobile going back last year, and they would not cancel my contract, they only way I could get them to shift was to go to Trading Standards and get them involved - funny they seemed to be able to cancel the contract then.

I would suggest to sending the a letter (not email) and send it Registered Delivery (this always seems to suggest to them that this is the first stage in legal action).
[General Topics] thefunkygibbon:
interesting point about contacting the data person.

i've just called up Otella (is that spelt right?) the phone ombudsman and they told me to write an official letter explaining the problem and what i would like to get it resolved. then depending on the reply they would like to help me get it resolved. the fact i was going to leave and the cancellations team sold me the package to which i stayed with vodafone seems to slant to the positive for me..

i'd be too much of a wuss to be taken to court over it :(
[General Topics] wu5262:
i have exactly the same problem as you last month as well, vodafone told me my contract include data, but my bill ends up with £137!!!! I phone up a few time and they told me the data bundle only include 50mb, and they say i use 98mb so they charge me the extra, i wanted to cancel the contract as well, but they say i can't......unless i pay £350. Great, stuck with this useless contract now....should have gone to T-mobile.

Anyway, they also told me Vodafone is coming up with new data package on may, so hopefully the plan is good then i will change my price plan.
[General Topics] hanmin:
Well, I hate it when I need to cancel a contract. I always get those X months free contracts I can get from whatever companies that is able to offer that. As such, I usually cancel my contract every 12 months (yes, I mass SMS all my friends the new number, good way to filter out friends :D). And I had enough of their silly efforts of trying to stop you from getting off their contract, and now, after few years of improvements, it seems that the good 'reason' to tell them is that you are leaving the country :D Pretend that you are from somewhere else, pretend that you are going else where to get a job. It is easy for them (I think they may get into trouble if their call/leave rate is too high) and easy for you.

As for your current contract, it is unlikely they do not have their phone conversation recorded. In that case, there is no proof that you are actually in a contract anyway. I think you need to find some organization that deals with consumer affairs.
[General Topics] Lordsmiff:
I had some problems getting an XDA Exec repaired with O2 - they kept wanting to give me a basic Nokia as a loan phone while it was done (and that's simply no substitute for an exec).

I eventually paid for an insurance claim when they said I could get it swapped that way but when that one was faulty too, I played merry hell with them...and got absolutely nowhere. I talked to loads of different people and managers and just ended up going round in circles - either I made another claim on the insurance or accepted a basic nokia for the weeks my phone would be being repaired.

So, I found out who the CEOs of O2 UK and O2 worldwide were and emailed them. My phone was replaced free of charge the next day and they refunded my insurance claim excess.

Major kudos to O2 for sorting out the problem, bad that it took them so long.

The point though is not to let them push you around. You're paying them for a service. They *need* the business of people like you. Don't be....

....and let them get away with it. All the laws of the land are on your side. There's nothing to be scared of :)
[General Topics] Slave1:
I understand there's a section of their contract that says that if they increase a price and your monthly costs rise by more than a certain amount (without your usage pattern changing) you can cancel.

Someone on DigitalSpy.co.uk was having a similar problem with Voda's data charges.
[General Topics] thefunkygibbon:
hmmm.. just checked their new data tarriff. and its complete crap. making out that its such a great deal. £1 a day for up to 15mb usage. thats £30 quid a month then just for data.. sod that. tmobile's web and walk is only 7quid and no upper limit (not that i would use more than a meg or two a day anyway)

grr
[General Topics] wu5262:
hey, where do you see the new data plan? do you mind to post a link?
[General Topics] vma:
Hi,

I had problems with service providers in the past as well (TV companies, phone companies and ISP's).

They all work with the following objective: to get the maximum profit, serving the worst possible service/support. If you look at this fact from an economic point of view, you will find that this is really the most profitable way of doing it, though the end-user probably will not be very satisfied with it.

Anyway: the best thing to do are the following rules:

1) Write them a registred letter explaining the facts.

2) Explain them what contract you where talked into.

3) Explain them that you only accept exactly that service.

4) Explain them that you give them two weeks to sort things out.

5) Explain them that after those two weeks, you either get an acceptable answer (i.e. they cancel the contract or provide you with the service they promised), or you cancel the contract because they where not able to provide you with the promised service.

6) Explain that in this last case you will cancel all payments.

7) DO NOT PAY. YOU DON'T HAVE ANY CONTRACT, UNLESS THEY PROVIDE YOU WITH a) a signed contract or b) a recorded call.

Don't be a wuss, because they are sharks. Treat them like a hunter!

Cheers,

vma

some great tips the only thing is if you dont pay as some peeps suggest you might get a default credit against you and if you have bad credit you might not be able to get credit with another operator in the worst posible case.

If it would get that far, legal advice should be mandatory.

[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kavb1986:
Guys I found something peculiar..

While on call if you turn on loudspeaker, only the lower stereo speaker works..

But while hearing music both top and bottom stereo speakers work..

Has anyone noticed this?

I am on stock 5.0.2..

Anyone with stock 4.4.4, have you noticed this same behaviour?
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jay2the1:
Yes I've noticed the same thing a while ago (I am on stock 4.4.4), I reckon there are a few reasons why, first is music and video usually have stereo audio so you would want it to use both speakers, calls are mono so doesn't really matter that it only uses one speaker, and the reason it will use the bottom speaker rather than the top (or both) is in case you have the phone next to your head it doesn't damage your hearing if loudspeaker accidentally activates or it fails to deactivate.

Vendor Specs:

[IMG="Specs"]http://i.imgur.com/FQMzuTg.jpg[/IMG]

Vendor Site:

XTRONS Website

Experience:

My Car:

KIA Ceed 2008

Installation:

Installation was pretty easy. Once I got rid of the middle console and removed the old Radio, the installation was easy. Stuff all the adapters (WIFI, 3G, GPS) where it makes sense and fix the Radio. You need a 2DIN Install-Cage for your Car, so get that ahead of time. I won't go deeper into the installation, there are numerous "how-to"s that do this way better than I can :)

Getting Started:

After the installation, the unit gives you no basic steps like you would assume from Android (the timezone, user, mail stuff). General Language is set to English, the Keyboard has an additional Asian keyboard as well so set this to your desired language asap. The unit is fast, the UI is well thought out for Car use. CD play and DVD (region 2, Europe) was no problem and also fast. I added another Bluetooth Adapter because the onboard bluetooth has the known limitations for this kind of head units (only phone connection) and I want to use my Bluetooth ODB2 Adapter.

Until now, I have only positive things to say about this unit. I had a China-Unit before, which broke down after a year of usage and where the hardware quality just wasn't good (wobbly buttons, display kept getting pushed in because it was not mounted correctly and so on). This has a good hardware quality (until now ;) )

Over the next few days, I will configure the Bluetooth stuff and I will see how well configurable the hardware buttons are (for example: Start Spotify instead of the music app when I press on Music and so on).

If you also Plan to get an Android Unit and don't want to wait for Android Auto (and the fact that all units will start at around 1000 € probably ;) ), this may be your unit.

They ship from the UK (even have a warehouse in Germany, where I come from) so if you are in Europe, you don't have to worry about taxes and so on. Also, shipping was very fast (like.. Amazon fast).

Please tell me your experience with this device

I have installed this unit this past weekend and I really like it. I have a question though about the possibility of having pre-installed spyware from the chinese on these android devices. How would I go about detecting the possibility that there is something lurking somewhere?
[Android General] TheSSJ:
Hi, could you make a photo of your Settings->About screen? Would be curious about the system version and the MCU Version you have.

Does the radio already play when booting up or do you have to wait until the boot is completed?

Thanks!
