Electricpig.co.uk is on point with this story, confirming a rumour previously reported that Vodafone is going big on PAYG – by offering some value packs – they are called Vodafone Freedom Packs, and will start being offered on Good Friday, 10th April.
Vodafone Freedom Packs basically give you loads of free texts and minutes for a pretty piffling sum of pre-pay money. For instance, the cheapest £10 Freedom Pack gives you £50 worth of minutes and texts.
Pay £15 and you get 600 texts and 200 minutes, or opt for £20 and you’re rewarded with unlimited texts and 300 minutes. Vodafone Freedom Packs are totally PAYG too – there’s no regular subscription to pay. The minutes can be used to call any network or 01/02/03 landline number too.
As Electricpig.co.uk points out, the only catch-eroo here is that the free minutes and texts have to be used up before 30 days or you’ll switch back to standard rates until you buy another pack. Apparently Vodafone customers can call 2345 to get the packs, on or after Good Friday, 10th April.

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
