The first 6 months looks expensive and then the price doubles !

I have contacted Vodafone via the web chat and they assure me that Turkey will still be included in the free roaming if you have global roaming included in your plan. There's still a part of me that's not convinced though I'm afraid.

That message has apparently been sent to several people who are residents or Turkish citizens.
-
I am a resident in the U.K. and have also received the said same email.
-
Just received the same . Think I am going to cancel when I can get through.
They did this 2years ago then did a u turn as it cost them dearly.
-
Could this be a scam? If you click on the link or call the number...........there may be trouble ahead! On the other hand it may be perfectly legitimate. Just sayin' : :)
-
No, it's not a scam. The number is legitimate.

It is a Vodafone number I called them yesterday but got fed up waiting for them to answer. Just got the sorry we are really busy message and the god awful music.

Managed to get though today . Told them I want to cancel the contract free of charge as there email stated .
He then said they will upgrade you to ultimate max for the same price as you pay now which includes turkey.
So not to bad news
-
What price do you pay now Steve?
-
£37 a month
-
They are really going to be out of pocket if you got a new iPhone 11 within the last couple of months

I have just taken two year deal with them with roaming in Turkey. Rang them up they offered me a free upgrade to deal that includes a Turkey. £15 for first 6 months £30 for next 18. I am currently paying £12 per month (sim only) . Not sure how it is called free upgrade! Cancelled contract.

I was involved in the original fiasco of the same thing, there is a thread on here about it.
I pay £15pcm for the Red10 pack, my phone has been used in Turkey. Zenas phone is a 2nd line at £12.50 for the same tariff, her phone not yet used in Turkey as we changed over from EE in December last year. Also have home broadband, all payable with 1 DD on the same account.
I waited 2.5hrs on hold yesterday to get a definitive answer after receiving the email.
My options; for my phone I can choose a new tariff at £30pcm on a 24m contract, 1st 6 months discounted to £15.
Zenas phone not subject to the 6m discount so straight from £12.50 to £30.
No alteration to the broadband.
I can cancel my phone under the previous usage clause with no penalty. If I cancel Zenas I'll have to pay the remainder of the contract so another 20 months!
Proper messy situation & not worth the grief for 2w in Calis, I'll either pay the £6 per day when necessary or switch the phone off except for the camera then as soon as I can I'll move away from Vodafone.
Last option is to get new sims & broadband elsewhere, cancel the DD & let them take me to court. I'm no rebel but I doubt that they would do that & am probably willing to take the risk, going to mull it over for a few days...

Yes , I had the same conversation with them, you get with that unlimited calls texts and data whilst in the UK and 24gb of data whilst roaming. Its a 2 year sim only contract. I pay £23 per month so it works out an extra £78 over 2 years for me. As much as it annoys me it's still the cheapest option.

What is the latest opinion?
I'm looking for a new UK contract with Turkey included hopefully without spending a fortune.
need about 5 gb I think
thanks
-
I think the only one left now is Vodafone Max which includes 81 countries rather than the standard 51. It isn’t cheap though, £37 a month I think, on a 24 month contract...
-
£37 a month is not happening it will be cheaper to pay the high prices for what little use I will give it in Turkey. Just fancied being able to use the data more than anything.
-
Couldn't you buy a data card in Turkey that you could use while there ?
-
I moved both mobiles from Vodafone to Talkmobile who are a Vodafone subsidiary company! EU roaming included but Turkey excluded, £8pcm for 8gb data + unlimited texts/calls. Worked out the savings over my original contract will allow me to sensibly use both phones when in Calis & still be better off, Vodafone are just plain daft not to see the amount of people leaving in droves.
I then rang to cxl my Broadband & was given an upgrade to Superfast 2 at £2pcm less than I was paying! Fast forward on & SF2 wasn't working so rang tech help to be told it's not available in my area & should never have been promised it so back to SF1 with another 15% discount & a goodwill gesture for the inconvenience, you couldn't make it up if you tried.
