We'd say Vodafone's £26 SIM only plan below is their best option this May. It's on a 12‑month deal and gets you unlimited data, unlimited minutes and texts:

Unlimited minutes + Unlimited texts + 0MB Unlimited data (5G) = £0 £26 a month (12‑month contract)

It might be one of Vodafone's best deals on SIM only but you can get a lower price for a similar plan on other providers, even ones that use the Vodafone network. Here's which other networks can beat it:

Vodafone's 200GB for £16 plan is a good option too

If you need less data, we also think this £16 Vodafone SIM is one of their best options. It comes with 200GB data, unlimited minutes and texts on a 12‑month deal:

No other networks can currently beat Vodafone's pricing here for a SIM only deal with 200GB data or more. Have a look at the nearest plans with other providers under the dropdown below:

For a smaller amount of data, Vodafone's £10 SIM below is another of their best deals this month. For £10 a month, it offers 30GB data, unlimited minutes and texts on a 12‑month plan:

It can actually be beaten on price if you don't need your SIM to be with a provider that uses the Vodafone. If you do need that, it is the cheapest SIM with 30GB data or more. Here are the networks offering it cheaper:

How Vodafone’s benefits and SIM only deals stack up

Vodafone Review

Here’s what we think of VodafoneRead our full review

at simsherpa.com
(opens in new window)

As we said in our full review of the Vodafone network, we rate them highly for their fast 4G and 5G speeds and their great overall mix of coverage.

They offer SIM only deals on 1-month, 12-month and 24-month contracts. Generally the longer your contract the less you pay per month, but it’s worth comparing to get the best current overall deal.

Vodafone tend to be one of the more expensive networks, even on their 24-month contracts. There are a few cheaper providers who get full access to Vodafone’s network (including 5G).

Most of their benefits only come on premium plans. Inclusive EU and worldwide roaming is only included on their most expensive deals. And their Entertainment plans give you subscriptions to entertainment services.

If you order your Vodafone SIM online you can get your package delivered the next day by DPD. This includes every SIM size for any phone. You can also join on an eSIM on Vodafone or switch to one later (here’s how).

After your SIM arrives you have 14 days to request a refund if you’re not satisfied with it. Here’s their full explanation of their returns policy.

To stop their customers racking up huge bills they can’t pay, Vodafone make you pass a credit check to join any of their SIM only contracts. If you fail this check you can instead join them on a PAYG monthly bundle.

If you’re switching to Vodafone from another network, you can bring over your old number by requesting a PAC from your old provider and giving it to Vodafone. Here’s Vodafone’s guide to keeping your number.
