Vodafone Pre-pay in Australia
Hi Folks..........Sorry probably a silly question to you Poms over there, but how does this work??...........you pay for your credit and then its capped?, does any un-used credit roll over or do you lose it on the date you should re-top up?...................sorry to be naive but it's hard to get my head round

You pay the cap amount, say $49 which gives you $250 of call credit (I think and cant be bothered to look it up on the website). This credit will expire 1 month later for any unused amount. Obviously if you use all your credit earlier in the month you will have to add more.

(note to self - aargh, runs out today; must go top up.)
divaboy - no idea, sorry, but sure it's been discussed before so try search. I do know they work in various unlocked handsets we have from all over the world, although a bit dodgy in the US one but then most non-US ones seem to be.

When we first arrived we used the Vodafone $29 cap. Paid $29, got a total of $130 credit. This was useful when we didn't have a landline.
Now, I no longer use the capped plan. We now have a landline and I hardly use my mobile. So, now I am on the Vodafone 360 plan. I pay $20 (I could choose to pay more), that's all the credit I get, but it doesn't expire for 360 days.
On the PAYG plans, each time you re-load credit on to it, you can change your plan. Look at the Vodafone website; there are loads of options.

Virgin pre-pay never rolled over minutes when I was pre-pay. Can't speak for Vodafone though (evil company - worked for them for 2 years..ewww).
