The contract for the data card plan that Vodafone have been charging me for for the past goodness-knows-how-long is up next month so I sent them an email to cancel. Goodbye, Vodafone!

By the way, if you want to cancel a Vodafone account, email them at team19@vodafonebusiness.co.uk, don't call the 0870 number or you'll just pay them more money (it's a premium number), only to be told to email that address.

If you're wandering what this is about, see this topic, starting with the Abbey National Business and Vodafone: Two companies that just don't "get it" and Sticking it to Vodafone articles.

Why do I just know that Apple is going to team up with Vodafone in the UK for the iPhone and I'm going to be forced to sign up with them again? :)

So, one down... now to switch banks.

• Hi Aral, Just a quick note to tell you that you are now at the fourth spot if you Google "Abbey National Business". The review you needed has now surfaced... Expect a letter from their lawyers soon - one that you can safely ignore ;) J

• Here's one for all those 0870 numbers: http://www.saynoto0870.com/companysearch.php A search for Vodafone will bring up around 10 different geographical numbers. Combine that with 1899.com (whcih I use for all calls) and you can call them free of charge. Rates of 1pence per minute to US landlines and mobile phones is also not a bad deal - cheaper than Skype or Vonage.

• Jensa: Great to know. Hopefully others will be warned before they make the mistake of signing up with Abbey National Business like I did. Stefan: Nice link -- thanks! :)

• Can you teach me how to call 0870 number without being charged or the cheapest way to call an 0870 number?

• Hi Mark, AFAIK, it's a set charge. Don't believe there is a way to get around it :)

• I can tell that this is not the first time at all that you mention the topic. Why have you chosen it again?
