The problem with activating iPhone services (sending an SMS - ACT IPHONE to 144) is that I get charged for a pay as you go plan.

For example: I am on a Rs. 499 prepaid plan in Maharashtra (https://www.vodafone.in/3gworld/page...s.aspx?cid=mah) which has 500MB 3G, 500 Minutes calling & 500 SMS pack deal.

Now, being on the 499 plan and having iPhone services activated on my prepaid number, I continue using 3G, my vodafone balance(core balance on sim card) gets deducted/charged and in addition my 500MB/month balance reduces as well from the plan I am on (Rs. 499).

It's really weird, and what's more is it took me a month to figure out. I didn't have the time nor the inclination to fiddle with my iPhone all of the time checking my balance repeatedly. Lost some money in the bargain.
Deactivated iPhone services for my number(sending an SMS - DEACT IPHONE to 144).
Used the iPhone configuration utility tool and changed my APN to "www".
No personal hotspot for me as there are no iPhone based plans for 3G, that I know of.
I wrote to the Nodal Officer and got a reimbursement for some of the money I lost, though I felt/feel the whole Vodafone system for iPhone kinda stinks.

They have blacklisted me from the customer care so if I call them it just goes into a loop. One word to describe my experience with Vodafone India using iPhone is, "Sad".

Cheers!
Hope this helps someone and saves them the time/trouble.

Regards,
Jake.
Ps:- Customer Care pl. don't reply to my post, spamming my inbox, I'm irate as it is.
It was really sad listening it's been years using Vodafone with iPhone the Act iPhone service is always a zero cost service.. i recommend you to just deactivate this service and re-activate once again with the iPhone services, changing the apn won't let you anything with cost and with iOS 5 Vodafone apn is automatically done, there's no need now,

Thanks

This was disappointing.

Forwarding spam sms to 1909 counts as a complaint now?

You are not the only one.

any way for downloader none can stands before bsnl. for home combo 900 uld give give avarage 300 kbps download speed if ur line is ok
It has an FUP of 4mbps upto 8GB ,512kbps beyond so after 8GB data transfer you will probably end up getting only 50-60kBps download speed even if your line is ok
