I’ve just come back from a Vodafone store. In-store I learnt that there were new tariffs available where I could make calls of up to 60 mins in length for free off-peak and at weekends.

The problem I faced though, was that in order to sign-up for these new tariffs I would lose the 50 mins of free video calling I currently get each month as well as the free Vodafone Live! video content.

At first I was quite hesitant and then I thought, hold on, I’ve only made around 10 mins worth of video calls in the last 6 months and I haven’t watched any of the video content for about 3 months. So, when having to decide between more voice mins or video calls/content, I opted for the additional voice mins.

I know that the networks want to maintain their voice minute revenue and increase ARPU through data usage, how on earth do they expect to do this when:

(a) Their tariffs are skewed towards voice mins?
(b) Their per min/Mb data charges are ridiculously high?

I can’t wait for my N91 with Wi-fi as then I won’t have to use any of Vodafone’s data services with their ridiculous prices.
