Let me give you some free advice, last year at about this time I wanted a sim only deal with Vod who were more expensive than anyone else. I got them to cut the cost, then in April they put the price up by that inflation busting number + 5% or whatever it was. So I signed a contract in March 2023 till 2025 only to find it lept up a month later .
DO NOT sign a new contract in March, wait for the new Financial year and get a deal then
Guys, I am not sure why you feel the need to retaliate against the doomsters and bang on about "it not going to 60s" as if that is some sort of victory. In footballing terms you're like ManU bragging to MAn City about winning the League cup forgetting that MAn City have already won three superior trophies . Look guys, we've lost this for now, just sit tight or sell but stop moaning on here about the doomsters who have got it correct

Seems our MDV having resided with the completely useless Read get s even more money that he did. I shall be at the AGM and my vote is a "No".
Here is what our local Newbury MP wrote yesterday. It tells me how out of touch UK managers are - 1) It's not going to happen to us 2) It's 3 years away, well IMHO MDV isn't going to wait 3 years

I am posting this for anyone who works at Vodafone in light of today’s news announcement, which has understandably received considerable media coverage.
I have spoken a number of times to senior management at Vodafone during the day. They told me that although job losses have been announced at a global level, these are likely to take place over a three-year period and are split between the Group aspect of the business (which is not located in Newbury) and Europe more widely.
They drew my attention to the fact that the UK business has delivered the strongest revenue performance throughout the whole of Europe and although they cannot say for certain what this means, they do think that the focus for job losses will be on other geographical areas.
Vodafone have promised to keep me regularly updated with any information as they have it and I will update here and on my LinkedIn page (https://www.linkedin.com/in/laura-farris-mp/) and anyone affected is welcome to come and have a surgery appointment so that I can relay any concerns to the top.
Carrington, funny you didn't mention that you sold in the run up to the results until of course it turns out that the results have seen a fall, perhaps in reality you made it up to appear clever. I know you are lying because your last post about Vodafone was how much of a buy they were and you bought big again in late April, never mentioned you sold any.
Pathetic
The bit at the end was:
We extend a warm welcome to Margherita Della Valle as Vodafone's newly appointed Group Chief Executive Officer, and we have full confidence in her leadership abilities to steer the company toward growth. We are convinced that our strategic relationship will unlock opportunities for both companies to explore the swiftly expanding global telecom market and next-generation technologies".

So they get another member if they get to 20% - that more or less states they are going for that imo.
Vodafone Group Plc ("Vodafone") and Emirates Telecommunications Group Company PJSC ("e&") today announced that they have agreed a strategic relationship that brings the two operators closer together in certain aspects of their businesses.
As part of this strategic relationship, Vodafone and e& have entered into a relationship agreement that establishes e& as a cornerstone shareholder of Vodafone (the "Relationship Agreement"). This is the next phase in a strategic relationship that began in May 2022, when e& made its original investment in Vodafone.
The strategic relationship also enables collaboration across a broad range of growth areas, as e& and Vodafone can benefit from each other's respective operational scale and complementary geographic footprint. The key areas of commercial collaboration that Vodafone and e& will initially pursue include:
· In Enterprise, Vodafone and e& will explore jointly offering cross-border digital services and solutions to multi-national customers and public sector organisations. Services will include fixed and mobile connectivity, Mobile Private Networks, IoT, cybersecurity and cloud-based services.
· In Procurement, Vodafone and e& will seek to share best practice and may adopt joint procurement.
· In Carrier, Wholesale & Roaming, the two operators will work together to become the partner of choice in providing access to high-quality digital infrastructure.
· In Technology, both teams will seek to work together on a technology roadmap, including the evolution and adoption of OpenRAN.
Under the terms of the Relationship Agreement, the Group Chief Executive Officer of e&, will join the Vodafone Board as a non-executive Director (the "e& Nominee"), for as long as e& maintains its current shareholding of 14.6%. e& will also have the ability to nominate a second non-executive Director (the "Independent Nominee"), independent of e&, if its shareholding exceeds 20% (subject to certain adjustments while regulatory approvals are outstanding). These appointments are subject to receipt by e& of the required regulatory approvals. Other key terms of the Relationship Agreement are summarised below.
Margherita Della Valle, Vodafone Group Chief Executive, said: "We know e& well and I'm delighted we have strengthened our existing relationship through this strategic partnership. This closer alignment allows us to capture opportunities in our respective markets and brings additional telecoms experience to our Board."
Hatem Dowidar, Chief Executive Officer of e&, said: "Our investment in Vodafone is anchored by Vodafone Group's established position and worldwide reputation as a prominent industry player that provides cutting-edge connectivity and digital services. This aligns with e&'s vision of becoming a global telecom and technology player.
We extend a warm welcome to Margherita Della Valle as Vodafone's newly appointed Group Chief Executive Officer, and we have full confidence in he
Iggy, the spike yesterday at 420 coincided with the Bloomberg story it was not as you call it inside info. As to wise coming on here and claiming the Saudis are making decisions, well that is just ignorant and misinformation, just saying
Wise- have you noticed that not a single one of your positive prediction an inside knowledge is actually ever correct, yet you still come on here spouting a load of absolute tosh masquerading as insight, really mate give it up. or join happy harry Dan on a sugar coated whatsapp group
Dan you spend your whole ;ife on here ****ging of Mikey, I post once a year to remind you what a sub human you are and you get all agitated, I know you have lost a lot of money on here and continue to encourage others to lose theirs too but grow up
Nailed on to go red, as you say run by a bunch of fools who think adding 13 % to this years bill will get them out of trouble, meanwhile I get free eggs and costa coffees from their rewards scheme, run by a bunch of fools on over 100k , there lies the probem. I am still stunned that a company formed in 1984 has now decidee to charge an additiona 3.5% to help with their "network coverage" are they for real? The only certainty we have is Miket will predict a red finish, Dan the self appointed master and bully of the board will lose his $% it and wisebear will post another pointless inaccurate incite
