See here!

We're giving three months free broadband to the first 1,000 customers that register for Vodafone Prepay Mobile Broadband*

Plus we'll also give you a free 4Gb Micro SD memory card which you can pop directly into your modem. Handy for storing your photos, music or whatever you want.

Don't worry if you're not one of the first 1,000 because we're also giving everyone else that pre-registers 1 months free credit and a 4Gb Micro SD memory card. So, register now.

Just tried it and got an email back straight away.

Thanks for registering for Vodafone Mobile Prepay Broadband

Dear Timmy

Thanks for registering for Vodafone Prepay Mobile Broadband. You are one of the first 1,000 customers to register which means you are eligible for 3 months free credit! We'll also give you a handy 4GB Micro SD memory card, worth €25, which you can pop into your modem and use to store your files and photos.

You'll shortly receive an email with a unique voucher number which you'll need when buying your modem. Make sure to use this voucher number to ensure you receive your 3 months free credit and free memory card.

Thanks again for your interest in Vodafone Prepay Mobile Broadband

I got one:)

It says I must pay for the modem so will wait and see if I will get it depending on modem cost. I hate Vodafone but this is a good offer as far as I can see

I'm not with Vodafone but registered "interest" anyways!

Got no e-mail though!

EDIT: Modem is €79, and usage for the Prepay BB appears to be a €5 a day. Bit steep!

Yeah this pay as you use tariff is a bit crap - €5/day !

"Get online when you need to for as little as €5 per day" - Are they for real?!!!

I dont know why there are no operators offering data bundles that dont expire. Now that would be really handy to have.

got no email as yet. I thought I mistyped my addy so applied again. Not helped by the fact my broadband is with '3' and there is desperate lag and timeouts this week making form filling a pain.

Thanks OP.

Registered and got the email. Must read the t&c's now.

Edit: €5 per day and €79 for the modem? They can GTF! With Meteor, you can get a refurb modem online for €30 and then have the choice of a daily rate of €2.99 with 500mb allowance, or €20 per month with a 5gb allowance!

I wonder what the "3 months free broadband" entails? Will we still be restricted to 500mb per day, and if we go over it, get crucified?

Hi Guys,

Great to see you regestering your interest,

Apologies for any confusion, The "€5 per day / Pay as you use," tariff is an existing package for bill pay customers, and is not related to our new Prepay Mobile Broadband, for which we haven't released any pricing for as yet.

As soon as I have more details on pricing I'll post up on our Talk to Vodfone forum.

Paul.

A bit late for us, but thanks anyway.

Thanks for registering for Vodafone Prepay Mobile Broadband. Unfortunately you are not one of the first 1,000 customer to pre-register but as a thank you for taking the time to pre-register you are eligible for one months free credit and a FREE 4GB Micro SD memory card, worth €25, when you purchase prepay broadband from Vodafone.

Paul,

I registered before a lot of people here, and even before I posted the thread, but never got any e-mail.

Is it because I'm currently on O2? If so, you should have really said "the first 1,000 Vodafone customers to pre-register".

Hi Basquille,

The offer was for the first 1,000 to register, no restrictions to Vodafone customers or anything like that.

If you want to PM me your email I'll check for you as to why you didn't get an email.

Paul.

So basically none of you are really interested, you just want a "free" 4GB SD card.

I registered my interest also. Have DSL at home so would only want this occasionally. Modem is 39.99euro and daily charge is 3euro - can't go too wrong with that.

When I get that, the codes will be mailed out to the 1,000 people that pre-registered.

Should be today at some stage. As soon as I know I'll post up.
