All you need to know about Vodafone SIM Only

Vodafone have been around since 1991 and are one of the four big mobile networks in the UK with around 19.5 million customers.

They have a choice of SIM Only and Pay As You Go plans perfect for those who are happy to keep their existing handset.

Let's take a look in more detail at what Vodafone SIM Only has to offer.

SIM only plans

Vodafone have a great range of SIM only plans with a choice of contract lengths so there really is something for everyone.

Contracts come in rolling 30 days, 12 month or 24 month. The 24 months offer the best value as they tend to be a lot cheaper compared to the same tariff on a 30 day contract.

All tariffs come with unlimited minutes and unlimited texts, so it's just a case of selecting the data level that's right for you.

Entertainment plans

Available on selected plans, choose between a subscription to Amazon Prime Video, Spotify Premium or YouTube Premium. You’ll also receive 100 minutes from the UK to anywhere in the EU for free.

View all Vodafone's SIM only plans

Pay as you go plans

Vodafone does still offer the classic pay as you go option. This allows you to just pay for what you use. But it can be quite expensive, at the time of writing (May 2020) rates are 20p per minute, 20p per text and 20p per 5Mb of data. If you spend £1 in a day, Vodafone will give you unlimited minutes and texts plus 500Mb of data to use until midnight.

You can buy a 30 day bundle of data, minutes and texts which offers slightly better value. These are:

  • 3Gb Data, 250 minutes and unlimited texts for £10
  • 6Gb Data, 250 minutes and unlimited texts for £15
  • 10Gb Data, 1000 minutes and unlimited texts for £20
  • 20Gb Data, 3000 minutes and unlimited texts for £30
  • Unlimited 5G, unlimited minutes and unlimited texts for £50

Any unused data or minutes from the bundle gets rolled over into the next 30 days and you can add a bundle onto your SIM at any time.

Why choose Vodafone SIM Only?

Coverage

The Vodafone network covers around 98% of the UK so you can make calls or texts from pretty much anywhere.

Vodafone Together

Save £3 a month when you sign up to a 24 Month SIM only and Home Broadband plan together.

VeryME Rewards

VeryMe rewards Vodafone customers with treats and giveaways tailored to your interests. Rewards range from free coffee to festival tickets.

Customers not on the Unlimited Max Plan can pay £6 per day for the Roam Further plan which gives a total 105 destinations in the EU and worldwide.

They are also the first UK mobile network to offer 5G roaming in Spain, Germany and Italy – reaching 47 European towns and cities in total.

Great choice

Vodafone has a great choice of both handsets and tariffs so you should be able to find one that suits you.

Unlimited minutes and texts

Unlimited minutes and texts are on most plans with the exception of the pay as you go plans. This means you can focus purely on the amount of data you need.

Stay safe online with Secure Net

All Vodafone plans come with a 3-month free trial of Secure Net, to protect you from harmful viruses and websites – plus a filter for children’s devices.

My Vodafone app

You can manage your account on-the-go and check your usage and pay bills easily. If you need help, virtual agent TOBi is on hand 24/7 to help you find most of your answers in less than 30 seconds.

Tethering

You are free to tether with Vodafone (assuming your device supports this). Tethering is turning your phone into a personal hotspot so that you can use your mobile data allowance to get online with other devices like a laptop or tablet.

This can really chew through your data though so make sure to keep your eye on your allowance.

Roaming on Vodafone

Vodafone announced changes to its roaming charges following Brexit. The amount you will now pay will depend on your Vodafone plan, when it started, and where you’ll be roaming.

Vodafone also have a 25GB roaming fair use policy. So even if your plan includes 100GB data a month, you can only use up to 25GB of data a month when roaming.

If your Vodafone Pay monthly plan started before 11 August 2021 the there is no change to the way you roam as long as you stay on your current mobile plan.

What's bad about Vodafone SIM Only?

Expensive

Vodafone does tend to be amongst the more expensive providers. If you are a light user then it may be worth exploring some of the cheaper networks.

Above average complaints

In the Ofcom comparing service quality report(published on 30th April 2019), Vodafone received 7 complaints per 100,000 customers, well above the industry average of 4, putting them top of the list with Virgin Mobile.

Limited WiFi hotspots

WiFi hotspots are useful for keeping your data usage down, or getting online when there's no mobile signal.

Vodafone falls behind a little in this area. You get free access to Virgin Media's 250+ hotspots across London's TFL network, but this is little use if you don't live in London.

No data rollover for pay monthly customers

Data rollover is a pretty common feature now with most providers, Sky even rolls over your data for 3 years. But for Vodafone customers this feature is only available on their pay as you go bundles.

Price increases

All pay monthly contracts have an annual price adjustment in line with the Retail Price Index (RPI). They did previously have a The Fixed Price Promise but this ended back in May 2016.
