Vodafone DE Websessions | restrictions for prepaid customers, price remains @ €4.95

[inquisitor]

Vodafone Germany today announced some news regarding their Websessions tariff:

the good ones:
Websessions, that offered 24h of unlimited internet access for € 4.95 to prepaid and postpaid customers until August 31st will still cost € 4.95/day. So the price will not be raised to € 7.95/day as stated previously.

the bad ones:
For prepaid customers Websessions will from now on be limited to 1GB per session. Also instant messaging will be blocked for them.

International Websessions, that grant a volume of 50MB for 24h for a couple of countries, remain unchanged.

By that T-Mobile's dayflat, which is billed by calendar day instead of 24h, has gained some attractiveness for high-traffic-users again, since they do only limit bandwidth from HSDPA to UMTS speed after exceeding 1GB of traffic per day.

However Fonic, who will start a dayflat for € 2.50/calendar day on September 15th, will be the cheapest dayflat by then. More info on this tariff at http://www.prepaidgsm.net/forum/germ...-50-t4202.html
