Is this really such a great deal?

Is this really such a great deal?

Posted in Communication, Customer Service

I both love and hate this deal offered by Vodafone for their “pay as you go’” top ups.

On the one hand it seems to be a fantastic offer!  You pay just £10 and they give you FIVE TIMES the amount of credit.  What a generous gift.  What a super friendly company Vodafone must be giving away so much free air time to the customers that it truly values!

On the other hand, when I first saw the billboard, all I could think was, “Vodafone must be charging way too much for minutes and texts if it can afford to give away £50 worth of airtime for just £10.” May be £15 for £10 of credit or even £20 for £10 credit would seem a reasonable stretch (after all “buy one get one free” is firmly embedded in our national economy these days), but to be able to offer £50 for £10 of credit seems a little excessive and makes me wonder how they can afford it!  Are they overcharging their pay monthly customers?

Is it really a great deal or just overcharging disguised as a free gift?
