Tariffs for 4G/3G service

Vodafone is a European mobile operator with more than thirty years of history. Today the company is one of the world leaders in the telecommunications sector and provides services in dozens of countries.

4G / 3G from Vodafone: what speed?

In Ukraine the operator Vodafone appeared in the last months of 2015 and immediately caused considerable excitement among the population. And this is understandable, because with the arrival of the provider, users have another option for connecting to high-speed 4G / 3G Internet, and Vodafone’s tariffs make it stand out from other GSM operators.

The speed of Vodafone's 4G / 3G Internet connection reaches up to 150 Mbit/s!

Vodafone Unlim 3G is a line of new tariff plans from Vodafone. The offer is available in the form of Unlim, Unlim Plus packages, or on a daily subscription basis. Unlim - these are standard tariff conditions, unlimited plus - with an increased number of services. The main advantage is unlimited access to 3G Internet - this has never happened before. Available connections and cost.

Terms of unlimited 3G Internet in Unlim packages

With the development of mobile technologies and announcements about the future of 4G networks in Ukraine, the issue of fighting for subscribers is becoming increasingly relevant. So, the new tariff plans provide for unlimited access to the Internet for 4 weeks.

The first Vodafone Unlim 3G tariff offers the following features:

• calls within the network for 20 kopecks per minute;
• 20 kopecks per minute for other operators;

For 50 hryvnia subscription fee.

The plus option offers unlimited communication to home network subscribers:

• unlimited for 3G Internet from a smartphone or tablet;
• unlimited on Vodafone/MTS;
• 100 minutes of other Ukrainian operators;
• 20 kopecks for each SMS message.

As a result, Vodafone Unlim 3G Plus costs 75 hryvnia for 4 weeks.

If there is insufficient funds to withdraw the subscription fee, daily packages will be valid - they are not profitable for the active user.

Every 200 megabytes - 7 hryvnia, for unlimited within the network - 3 hryvnia and 20 kopecks per minute for others. It is worth noting that the company has introduced a policy of fair Internet use - unlimited will apply when using a tablet or smartphone.

Technical features of unlimited Internet

Unlimited, but not quite. In the new tariff plans, after using 3 GB per day, the speed is reduced to 0.8 Mbit/s until the end of the calendar day, after which the restrictions are removed. In any case, when calculating the amount of traffic it turns out to be very profitable.

84 GB for 50 hryvnia for 4 weeks

Also, unfortunately, it will not be possible to distribute the Internet from a smartphone to other devices, and use a SIM card in a modem - to avoid commercial use. Accruals will occur automatically on the 28th day from 12 am to 8 am - so you should make sure there is a sufficient amount of funds. If necessary, replenishment without commission by bank card is always available.

Vodafone Unlim 3G connections are simple and positive

Activation of tariff plans is available from August 15, and any network subscriber can switch, as well as subscribers with MTS tariffs. When switching, you will be charged for the first month of use, depending on the package. After receiving an SMS about the completion of the application, you need to restart the phone (off/on).

Combinations for change:

• *888*1# - transition to Vodafone UNLIM 3G;
• *888*2# - transition to Vodafone UNLIM 3G Plus;

Also, if necessary, in the first 7 days after activation of the joint venture, a subscriber with a Vodafone UNLIM 3G TP can switch to a TP Vodafone UNLIM 3G Plus for 25 UAH.

Cost and availability of services

When switching from tariffs (except for the Vodafone RED, Device, Light tariff line), all connected services are disabled (except for GOOD’OK, Click and subscriptions), and bonus points and funds in the additional cash account are canceled.

Of the roaming services, only visa-free weekends are available; all other services are not available. Unfortunately, it will also not be possible to activate a year without subscription fees for even lower costs.

To summarize, one thing is that the Vodafone company has given a worthy answer to the lifecell Heat tariff, then we are waiting for a move from the Kyivstar operator - which has not released new tariffs for quite some time.

Unlim 3G – tariff plan conditions

Mobile Hotspot a new additional service for these tariffs. You open up the possibility of unlimited Internet distribution to other devices via Wi-Fi. These can be smartphones, tablets, laptops, set-top boxes. Enjoy 4G/3G Internet from Vodafone and share it with your friends.

For those who choose tariff plan for or, these 2 tariffs can not be differentiated, since their difference is only in the number of free minutes for calls to numbers of other telecom operators and the cost of calls. The main feature of the Vodafone Unlim 3G tariff plan is full unlimited 4G / 3G Internet, which practically does not limit you in Internet traffic. So, by connecting to the Unlim 3G tariff, you will be able to have access to the network, regardless of how many gigabytes of Internet traffic you have already used.

Monthly subscription fee the tariff is 75 UAH. This is how much it costs for unlimited high-speed Internet access provided by Vodafone. This tariff plan is ideal for those who have almost completely switched to Internet communication or those who need constant, unrestricted access to the Internet at any time and anywhere, since Vodafone has a fairly wide network coverage map.

Vodafone Unlim 3G tariff restrictions

As noted, this tariff plan has no restrictions on access to the Internet. However, the data transfer speed may decrease to 0.8 Mbps if the user has spent 3 GB of Internet traffic per day. It is worth noting that not everyone will be able to spend 3 GB of Internet every day, since this volume is more than enough for:

1. Watching a full-length film in acceptable quality
2. Listening to online music with more than 230 tracks
3. 24/7 web surfing, visiting an endless variety of information, news Internet portals, websites
4. Continuous online communication on social networks and various instant messengers

An excellent offer - unlimited Internet for 75 UAH (now 90 UAH). But obviously the company treats new customers as suckers.
You simply top up your account with 90 UAH. and you don’t immediately receive packaged services of the same unlimited Internet, and the money is transferred at the regular rate per MB.

That is, the logic is this: if money appears in the account, first it is simply withdrawn for any services used, and then once there, package services are credited for which you already paid 20 hours ago, but they could not be credited to us before. Company idiocy policy. The company has no idea how inconvenient this is in real life! Apparently the logic is this: top up for the next month before the end of the current period and you won’t have any problems, but this doesn’t always work out, and why would it if I want to top up every day.

I spent 90 UAH in two days this way. The company decided not to advertise anywhere that package services are charged from 00:00 to 08:00, that is, it hid from the consumer the terms of service that it sells. They told me about this at the call center. Yes, I use the tariff for a tablet, I don’t receive SMS messages saying that money is being withdrawn per MB, if there are any on the network.

But show me where in the starter package/on the website it is written that tariff services are connected at night? Many will agree that such information should be highlighted in red! Otherwise, it is consumer deception.
If, indeed, the conditions for connecting a tariff at night were not indicated anywhere (and I couldn’t find them anywhere), then this is a good reason to go to court. In European countries they do this, because there the consumer’s opinion is valued, including negative ones.

And what is it, the Stone Age or 2005, that services are credited 24 hours after payment? this is inconvenient and such a service is less competitive. Previously, it would have been funny for me to imagine this; in the Life and Kyivstar networks, services are charged instantly.

My experience with Vodafone's services was extremely negative. This is the first time I buy a package from this company and for the first time I have technical problems and lack of information for me as a client.
Initially I bought a non-working SIM card. While we were trying to set it up with support/replace it with a new one, a week passed. All this time, the services were considered operational, although it was impossible to even call anywhere. As a result, for a 4-week fee, I only used package services for 3 weeks and, in addition, a lot of hassle. In principle, after the first “month” of use, I could have thrown away the SIM card; as long as I get unlimited internet, it’s not profitable, and it’s inconvenient.

I would like to rate it 0. But it’s not fair, the Internet works. Only money is withdrawn from the account on the sly.
