30 Day Network Guarantee - join Vodafone risk free
Vodafone have just announced a new scheme that will let you cancel your contract (phone or SIM only) within 30 days if you're not happy with their services.
This is a handy feature if you're unsure about their coverage in your area.
It also takes the risk out of taking longer 12-month contracts, which come with a monthly discounts and extra benefits (see below).
It's a bold move and will be interesting to see if other networks move to match Vodafone.
Subscriptions to premium entertainment included
With Vodafone's 12-month SIM only contracts with 4GB data or more, you can choose from one of three included subscriptions to a premium entertainment service.Take your pick from music streaming service Spotify Premium, which puts millions of songs from your favourite artists at your fingertips to stream without adverts. If you're more into sports, there's Sky Sports Mobile TV, which lets you watch Sky Sports 1, 2 and Sky Sports News HQ on your mobile.
Or there's the NOW TV Entertainment Pass, which gives you access to pay TV channels you don't get with Freeview including Sky Atlantic, Sky 1, Sky Living, Sky Arts 1, Gold, Nick Jr., Nickelodeon, MTV, Disney, Fox, ITV Encore, Discovery and Comedy Central (ABC Studios Box sets only).
4G as standard on Vodafone's dependable network
All Vodafone's SIM only contracts come with 4G as standard. If your phone doesn't have 4G, you'll still be able to use 3G and 2G network with their tariffs. Vodafone are investing over £1 billion to improve their network's reliablity even further indoors and outdoors. Their aim is to get 3G and 4G coverage to 98% of the UK population in just the next few years.Bring your number with you
If you want to hold on to your current number you can. Just order your new SIM today. When it arrives, call your old network and ask for a PAC code, then ring Vodafone on 191 from your new SIM and give them the PAC. They'll transfer your old number over to your new SIM in one working day.Source: Official Vodafone site January 2016
