I won’t go so far as to say we were the reason that Vodafone has seen some sense and dropped the price of their Dell Mini 9 with 5GB Wireless Internet bundle. But in last week’s article about the emergence of the free laptop with a wireless internet plan we suggested that Vodafone needed to drop the price of their bundle from $69.95 to $59.95. Yesterday they announced that they would be doing exactly that!
$69.95 per month for 5GB of data and a Dell Mini 9 just wasn’t a very good bundle deal – if you bought the wireless internet and the laptop separately it would have been cheaper than $69.95 per month. A bundle needs to be excellent value for the customer seeing they are giving multiple services to the one provider.
We now happily recommend the $59.95 per month for 5GB of wireless broadband and a Dell Mini 9 as an excellent deal. Dodo’s deal for the same price includes a $49 Mobile Cap and free mobile phone, but only 250MB of wireless broadband. Perfect for low internet users, but Vodafone’s bundle offer will suit higher data users and be more attractive to the business markets. Vodafone also includes a new feature of sharing data between users – great move by Vodafone.
