    originally wrote to you two weeks ago,thank you for reading my email. I am
    unable to view video on mobile,ie you tube etc..In your reply you said that i
    should find out which access point i am on/using. (Q)Where do i find this
    information from,do i need to go to there website(02). or do i call 02 customer
    service or visit a 02 shop. My contract is via Carphone warehouse. What do I say
    to them, how can I best explain it to them.please advice.

    Hi Andy, i know your a helpful guy so I wondered  if you

    could help me out with Vodafone? Following your great advice from a podcast I
    managed to cancel my Vodafone contract early due to the unlimited data bundles
    being capped at 500mb.
    I wrote a letter (from template) and then called a
    few days later as I had not had a response. The lady I spoke to cancelled my
    contract without much fuss and I was very happy. 2 days later a guy called me
    about the letter I sent and I said no need as it had been cancelled already.

    Now I just got a final bill from Vodafone that includes £168.61  charge for
    cancellation prior to contract end date. I just spoke to customer services and
    they said I cancelled my contract before the changes took affect so I have been
    charged for cancellation. They say that the announcement was just advisory. Any
    Idea's to where to go next?  The Swansea call centre would not budge even after
    being bumped up to the manager.
