After a few bad experiences in the past as a Vodafone Germany customer, I moved my number to O2.
Lately, I have faced a problem with the O2 network coverage in my place of work - working at the Vodafone headquarters brings some disadvantages.
Bad times with Vodafone happened two years ago and I felt like giving Vodafone another chance. I went to the Vodafone shop located in the headquarters, ground floor, supposedly a flagship store.
This is, in brief, what the conversation with the saleswoman covered:
Me: I am interested in migrating my number from O2 Germany to Vodafone ... I would be looking to a contract that does not tie me for too long to Vodafone ... I do not use much SMS and voice calls ... I only need a good internet package ... I have LG G3 in mind (in the range of 600€) as my preferred device.
Saleswoman: I can offer you a two years contract with SMS and voice calls flat rate, the so called RED. Price is 65€/month without the mobile and 85€/month with the mobile.
Me: is this the only option? I do not need flat rate and the contract would be too long.
Saleswoman: Yes, this is the only option.
Me:Thanks for your time and have a nice weekend.
Note: I pay around 25€/month to O2 and can cancel the contract with one month notice. Network is fairly good and roaming package very flexible and inexpensive.
Well, all the above is why.
