LATEST UPDATE: £800 donated so far - that’s enough for 16 children, traumatised by abuse, to spend one hour with a social worker rebuilding their trust in adults. Please help us reach our target of £1500 by 10th December!
The awsome people from Vodafone’s ‘Find Live Guy‘ campaign have added another prize to the excellent pot [...]

That means you can pre-order it, here.
You can have one free on £35 a month for TWO YEARS (yikes) which includes 600 minutes and ‘unlimited’ texts.
Here’s Ian Shepherd, Consumer Director of Vodafone UK talking about the device:
Who’s getting one?
I’m not [...]

Running on from the theory of ‘why take two bottles into the shower’, they built in a slot for the accompanying memory card. Saving in the [...]

Just days after the Vodafone pre-ordering site went live it now looks like we could be seeing the phone in stores even earlier than expected.
The mobile phone news site has noted the new BlackBerry will launch this Friday at Vodafone’s flagship store in London.
This is despite the Vodafone [...]
The UK’s Advertising Standards Authority (”ASA”) has taken the hatchet to Vodafone UK’s mobile broadband advertising.
The ads typically showed a USB broadband stick looking like a rocket jetting into outerspace, with a strapline explaining that Vodafone’s mobile broadband service is ‘light years ahead’ of the competition. The ad also aimed to point out that [...]
Vodafone were rightly delighted to learn of their win in the Best Use of Public Mobile category in the MIR Awards 2008. Here’s the 2-minute individual award category video:
You can see the full Awards Show here.
Continue ReadingA few weeks ago, I signed up to get news from Vodafone about the Blackberry Storm.
This notification arrived through yesterday from them:
I’m pleased. That’s the loop working. Previously I’ve signed up for updates from an array of operators and never actually got them. It looks to me like they’ve got the CRM [...]
Continue ReadingFeast your eyes on the all new Blackberry Storm — launched today on Vodafone — but available from next month (and hopefully free from Bold-style OS issues).
First, a glorious gratuitous full screen shot please:
And, when you tilt the device, how’s it look?
When you touch it, it feels like a button — so says Frank Rovekamp, [...]
Continue ReadingSo after being the first to purchase one at the Vodafone Marylebone store, I have the device home. I’m typing this post on it.
The glorious Vodafone Netbook.
I went for the 25 pounds per month option giving me 1GB of data per month. I figured I could always upgrade if necessary.
Here, then, are some [...]
This is Ollie completing the setup of my Vodafone Netbook. He popped up Mobile Industry Review on it to show me the 3G+ data speed working. Whilst we were setting it up, Ollie upsold two ladies who came in as well - I think they might buy as I left the shop. I got it [...]

Ridiculous. Vodafone you really need to sort this out.

That’s what one of my sources from Vodafone reckons. Apparently you’ll be able to walk down to your local Vodafone store tomorrow and pick up a Netbook laptop for free (on a 24 month contract, 25 pounds a month).
A word of caution however — the Vodafone site reckons that the Netbook launches ‘online’ from [...]
Continue ReadingI am having a real problem using all my mobile phone accounts.
I’ve been giving a lot of thought, for example, to upgrading my 3 account with one of their funky E71s. Whilst Ben Smith didn’t rate it, James Whatley in today’s MIR Show was raving about it. I think it would be a [...]
You know when you walk into a mobile store here in the UK and swap to another provider, you have to go through a whole load of hoop-jumping in order to actually KEEP your number and swap it to your new provider.
And it takes days.
DAYS and in some occasions, weeks of arsing about. Sometimes [...]
I picked this up from The Register and as a presenter on my university’s student radio station I found it of interest.
Vodafone managed to squeezed 30 words into 8 seconds. A clip can be heard from here, according to one listener they felt they could not understand what was being said due to the speed [...]
I’m rather impressed to see that Vodafone has taken the jump into the social media space properly, with the launch of a Facebook application that lets you send text messages and have the cost of doing so billed to your Vodafone account.
Stuart Dredge over at PocketPicks caught this and points out that it’s not just [...]
Oh baby! Remember last night I reported a tip about Dell’s Inspiron Mini 9 ultra-mobile device coming, possibly to Vodafone?
Woosh.
It’s arriving across Vodafone Europe in late September. I just got the release from them.
It’s obviously got built-in HSDPA broadband. You’ll be able to get it directly from Dell or [...]
Vodafone have announced their first pre-pay deal in over two years. Luckily for us pre-pay consumers out there, it sounds like a bloody good offer too.
For just ten pounds per month, users will be entitled to unlimited free evening and weekend texts. Obviously this will be in-accordance to a Fair Use Policy of some nature, [...]
This is rather interesting — reader ‘John’ posted the link to this in a comment earlier. It’s posted as an announcement on the Vodafone eForum:
Hello everyone,
Following previous discussions about Premium Rate Short Message Services, I’m delighted to announce that the bar we promised is now available. I’ve written this message to inform you all [...]
I had a tip in this evening from a reader who reckons that the Dell Mini Inspiron — as seen by Gizmodo (pictures from Gizmodo too) — is heading to a UK operator shortly.
Almost every operator has got in on the laptops-for-30-quid-a-month thing — and they’ll thrown in a USB data dongle.
Well.
If my reader [...]
Here’s an introduction to Daniel Pullen — a new recruit to Mobile Industry Review. Daniel is shortly heading off to Uni and I’ve asked him to give us a horse’s-mouth style viewpoint on just how the mobile operators pitch him during the Fresher’s Week (the introductory shenanigans popular at most UK Universities). Plus, [...]

“I’ve been trying to change my price plan,” he says, “Using Vodafone UK’s online billing interface.”
Ah.
Let me mentally stop you there, Steve. I listened on, though. Filled with dread. [...]
