Feedback:

Dear  mobile tech addicts.
I am writing to you guys again in response to
my phone the c905. I am on 02 pay monthly(£30).With unlimited internet data.I
originally wrote to you two weeks ago,thank you for reading my email. I am
unable to view video on mobile,ie you tube etc..In your reply you said that i
should find out which access point i am on/using. (Q)Where do i find this
information from,do i need to go to there website(02). or do i call 02 customer
service or visit a 02 shop. My contract is via Carphone warehouse. What do I say
to them, how can I best explain it to them.please advice.
Thank You.

Chris Writes:
Hi Andy, i know your a helpful guy so I wondered  if you
could help me out with Vodafone? Following your great advice from a podcast I
managed to cancel my Vodafone contract early due to the unlimited data bundles
being capped at 500mb.
I wrote a letter (from template) and then called a
few days later as I had not had a response. The lady I spoke to cancelled my
contract without much fuss and I was very happy. 2 days later a guy called me
about the letter I sent and I said no need as it had been cancelled already.

Now I just got a final bill from Vodafone that includes £168.61  charge for
cancellation prior to contract end date. I just spoke to customer services and
they said I cancelled my contract before the changes took affect so I have been
charged for cancellation. They say that the announcement was just advisory. Any
Idea's to where to go next?  The Swansea call centre would not budge even after
being bumped up to the manager.
