Smartphones ‘on-the-go’ payment plans didn’t change over time. Megabytes for internet use, texts and calls are price separately in order to give customers a clear picture of how much they have spent over the month. Networks like O2 do offer saving bundles but that is more or less the same.

This time Vodafone is trying ‘PAYG1’ under which every 5MB data, text and minute would be priced at 20 pence but if the usage reaches to pound then Vodafone will cap it auto as your bill for the day.

How does Vodafone new deal benefit a user? He or she would get free minutes and texts above £1 usage till midnight. But that too limits to 500MB, use of every 500MB would add up to £1.

This shows data usage management under Vodafone deal may become complicated in that scenario since 500MB is quite low but seeing the cost, it is more than sufficient.
