Usage Information

The Vodafone Mobile Connect software includes a usage meter; this has been integrated to give an approximation of your data usage, the amounts shown can vary from your actual usage. (Mac users cannot use the Vodafone Mobile Connect software to check their data usage.)

There are a number of factors which could influence the accuracy of the usage meter. These include but are not limited to:

  • Background synchronisation
  • Closing the software, the notebook hibernating or shutting down the notebook without first pressing the 'Disconnect' button in the Vodafone Mobile Connect Software
  • Connecting via any other means other than pressing the 'Connect' button in the Vodafone Mobile Connect software
  • Manually resetting the usage meter in the Vodafone Mobile Connect software
  • Reinstalling the software at any point after initial usage
  • Removing the SIM card from the Vodafone Mobile Connect Card, using it in another laptop/device or using a different SIM with the Vodafone Mobile Connect card

It is also important to note the following:

All amounts shown in the Vodafone Mobile Connect software View Usage window are approximate.

Various factors, including other programs running on your computer (e.g. automatic updates or compression software) may cause differences between the amount of data shown as transferred in the Usage window, and the transfer actually recorded by Mobile networks. These differences may sometimes be large.

Your actual usage, rounded up as per our rounding policy, will be recorded in your monthly bill and our charges are calculated on this basis.
