Vodafone Puts iPhone Pricing Online, Then Pulls It Down

Okay, this is bordering on consumer contempt. Vodafone stuck a heap of prices up on their website, then within five minutes pulled them down again.

Fortunately, some of you were quick enough to take screen grabs and details, which you can find below the fold:

So, what’s the deal Voda? Were these prices a mistake? Or did someone just press the post button a bit too soon?

And why oh why did we have to wait so long for prices that don’t match the offering from Optus? I think – if these prices are correct – that Voda have dropped the ball big time. Less data, with no free wifi, for more dollars… stupid Voda, stupid…

UPDATE: Reader Mark sent in these extra screengrabs, outlining some extra pricing. I don’t know about you guys, but God I hope these aren’t accurate…
