Mobile Broadband and VOIP Support

Vodafone Mobile Broadband and VOIP

VOIP usage is allowed, so services like Skype will work fine. Usage of VOIP services on a Vodafone Mobile Broadband package will is taken from your inclusive data allowance. Once your allowance is used up you will be charged at the out of bundle data rate.

Note that Skype uses quite a lot of bandwidth, even when you aren't talking because when the program is running, it uses your "spare" network connection to re-route calls to other people, i.e. it acts like a peer-to-peer for voice data. So keep in mind if you're planning to use Skype on Mobile Broadband, you're likely to use up your monthly allowance pretty quickly.
