Vodafone Passport Brings Good News for Customers

With its attractive roaming packages, the new Vodafone Passport promises a hassle-free holiday experience for its 2.5 million strong customer base. These new rates easily fit into the consumers’ budget and make their holidays more enjoyable.

The Passport promises that all Vodafone subscribers, for just £4.99 per day, can relaxingly use a maximum of 25MB of data on their cell phones when they are abroad. This amount, if calculated as charge per MB, comes down to 20p. Consumers using data exceeding 25MB will be charged an extra £4.99.

Vodafone claims that 25MB of data use is sufficient for a person to perform a multitude of web-based tasks from his mobile phone. One can have a look at 250 web pages, entertain 25 emails, do a quick aerial spotting of a restaurant using Google Maps, know the happenings around the world from eight news articles on the BBC website, change one’s status on Facebook and easily enjoy three 90 second videos on the video sharing site YouTube.

The granular pricing model for usage less than 1 MB is another feature of the service. A Vodafone consumer pays on a per kb basis if he logs in, checks his email while he is in some other country, and makes a data usage of less than 1MB. Estimates show that approximately 100 KB is required to perform the brief task of reading and responding to an email.

For people who prefer to use laptop mobile internet access to their mobiles for internet access, Vodafone has another scheme. Inside the European continent, up to 50MB of mobile broadband access on laptop will cost £9.99. The same usage will cost £29.99 in nations outside Europe. When it comes to inexpensive overseas mobile broadband charges, no other company can beat Vodafone. However, UK time is the standard on which all roaming charges will be applicable. Daily billing on a certain amount of data used per day is from midnight to midnight UK time.
