Yeah its pretty bad! I mean, why should I pay to hear the message from someone who called me?! I am only on a prepaid account, so data rates are extremely high (I tend not to use it at all) at a rate of about $10/Megabyte (way, way, way overpriced). But carkitter is more into the data side, having set himself up so that his home-phone, cellphone, home internet connection, etc., are all incorporated into one Vodafone plan which I believe he gets at a decent cost. He probably gets some discount for that though!
I seem to remember a year ago there was a report that NZ call pricing was among the highest in the world! And one person on Esato (who I believe was South African) who moved to New Zealand recently told me that Vodafone actually told him that they just charge whatever they want to charge, just because they can! It's a bit of an insult to us New Zealanders really, but what can we do?!
@amawanqa: Yeah I've watched a bit of the cricket recently. It's been great! But I missed today's game, I'll look forward to catching some highlights hopefully tonight!
I wouldn't have thought you'd get coverage of a NZ vs. England cricket match!

Yeah, exactly why I don't use it! Like I said, that is only on prepay where they don't expect anyone to use data anyway. If anyone were to use data in NZ with their phone, I think they'd know to go on a plan!
Plans make it a lot cheaper, but still more expensive than most other data providers I think. I am not sure of the costs on a plan so I couldn't say for sure what its like!

@ M-O,
I now live in the UK, hence the coverage.
My 'roots' are still very much in SA, though. You wanna check out that highlights package; that was one of the most thrilling ODI games for quite some time.
BTW, congrats on your new Havana Gold W910i! Love that exclusive colour on the new
Vodafone handsets.

Sony must be relieved that the pendulum's not swinging the same way as the VHS-Beta war a few decades ago.
