Price Information Archive: Jan 2018 - Jan 2019

From 1 August 2018 call rating when dialling from the UK to EU will be rated in 60 second increments. Existing pence per minute rates will not be affected by these changes.

We will be introducing a correction for usage (calls and SMS) made to the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man from the UK. Currently the calls are incorrectly included within standard domestic call bundles. As of the 1 August 2018 updates will be applied to the billing system, meaning calls made to the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man from the UK will be chargeable at the cost of 47.67p p per minute; Texts to the Channels Islands and the Isle of Man from the UK will be chargeable at 47.67p per message.

These changes will apply to all standard tariffs including, but not limited to, Daisy Eureka and Select&Share.

As of June 1 2018, we will be introducing a number of changes that will make roaming in even more destinations much cheaper for our customers.

The following destinations will be changing zones:

• Cameroon, Korea, Laos, Macau, Morocco, Myanmar, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Seychelles, UAE and Uzbekistan are moving from Rest of World Zone 2 to Rest of World Zone 1
• Burkina Faso and Vietnam are moving from Rest of World Zone 3 to Rest of World Zone 1
• Bhutan and Madagascar are moving from Rest of World Zone 4 to Rest of World Zone 1
• Cape Verde, Gambia and Zimbabwe are moving from Rest of World Zone 3 to Rest of World Zone 2
• Sao Tome and Principe are moving from Rest of World Zone 4 to Rest of World Zone 3

In addition to this, we are delighted to announce that Daisy’s World Travel Select (WTS) service will also be improved and will benefit from over 40 new inclusive destinations, including the reintroduction of the United Arab Emirates.

The additional destinations are as follows:

Alongside the above cost-effective changes, we must unfortunately inform you that Albania and Bosnia and Herzegovina will be moving from EU Zone 2 to Rest of World Zone 1.

This means that roaming will no longer be included as standard. However, users roaming in these destinations will now be able access their inclusive bundles for only £5 (excl. VAT) per day, as they have been included within the new additions made to World Travel Select.

Please Note: O2 customers on DISE or legacy ABS tariffs will not be affected by these changes, if you are uncertain as to your tariff type please do not hesitate to contact us for further information.

Following some recent feedback it became clear that the size of some monthly itemised billing files on Vodafone are a problem, specifically when there is considerable data usage accrued whilst roaming. We have been looking into ways of improving this and now have an answer.

Currently roaming data sessions are relayed to us, by the network, in 3mb event rows resulting in potentially hundreds of lines per interaction, and extremely large monthly call files being generated. To resolve this issue we will be introducing steps to aggregate roamed data traffic received from Vodafone, on a per file received basis. This means that potentially thousands of individual lines will be consolidated in to single events and have no negative impact to the way in which the data is provided. It will not affect the alerts currently in place for data roaming and, most importantly, it will not affect pricing.

We are looking to apply these improvements, across all active Vodafone connections, with effect from 01 May 2018. We are certain that these changes should help reduce the size of data files and the time it takes to download them, however should you have any questions or concerns prior to this then please do not hesitate to contact us.

Daisy, for all your IT and telecoms business needs.

In August last year Vodafone released a new zoning structure and rates, restricted to its consumer base via the Vodafone RED tariffs. It meant that the destinations within the existing two worldwide zones, alongside Asia Pacific and America & Canada zones would be re-aligned across four new worldwide zones.

These changes will shortly be rolled out amongst some tariffs available throughout their business channels and as such Daisy have begun to take steps towards delivery of this to its own customers. Not only can we offer access to the newer Vodafone rates sooner than our competitors, but we can exclusively offer this pricing on O2 across a number of Daisy’s tariffs.

Please Note: O2 DISE customers will remain unaffected by these changes

It came to our attention in December 2017 that in some cases MPAY events, such as charity donations, TV voting, service payment via SMS were not charging correctly. These services allow the end user to pay directly, via their mobile device, for a service that would usually require a cash transaction. As such these events should always be charged on to the end user at full price, and essentially remain unaffected by invoice discounts or inclusive bundles.

Previously, with Daisy Mobile, this was not the case in some instances we were discounting or bundling these charges in error. We corrected this issue as of 1^st February 2018. In the event you have concerns around charges occurring for these call types we can apply both Premium SMS and specific MPAY bars for Vodafone customers, and O2 customers can apply a single Premium SMS bar that covers MPAY events.

If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact us.
