Vodafone UK has created a new plan that aims to remove the barrier to use of mobile email and mobile Web access, allowing 500 megabytes of data use each month on plans costing GBP 25 or more.
Postpaid customers who take a GBP 40 or higher package also will be offered a choice of unlimited text messages, unlimited landline calls or unlimited Vodafone to Vodafone calls, as well.
This move essentially sweeps away the last remaining cost barriers to entry for both mobile email and the mobile Internet, helping Vodafone UK to make mobile data more applicable to the mass market, says Emma Mohr-McClune, Current Analysis principal analyst.
The new plan will encourage more users to experiment with the mobile Internet. For customers who do not want the mobile data feature, Vodafone allows a monthly discount of GBP 5.
Standalone mobile data pricing currently runs about GBP 7.50 a month, Mohr-McClune says. "This is the first time" that a U.K. operator has offered bundled mobile Web access and email across its entire pay monthly portfolio, starting at GBP 25 per month.
