Phone Plan or Watch Plan - 3 to 36 months
Xtra Plan - 12 months or 24 months
Connectivity Plan - 30-day rolling
If your Phone Plan is longer than your Xtra Plan, when your Xtra Plan reaches the end, it will just become a rolling 30-day plan and you can get a new plan if you want to.
Your Connectivity Plan is a rolling 30-day contract. It won’t end unless you decide to cancel it.

Phone and Xtra Plan billing:
When you buy a phone on our one of our Vodafone EVO for Sole Traders plans, your monthly payment will be split into two parts.
You’ll have one Direct Debit for your Phone Plan and one for your Xtra Plan. Add these together and you’ll get the total cost of your monthly payment.
Phone Plan covers the cost of your phone
Xtra Plan covers the cost of your airtime (data, minutes and texts)
Where can I view both parts of my monthly payment?
Download the My Vodafone app and go to the Dashboard. Choose Your Plans and you’ll see a tab for Airtime Plan and a tab for Device Plan.
Choose Airtime Plan to see what data, minutes, texts and Xtra Plan benefits you have.
Choose Device Plan to view and manage your Phone Plan – this includes your annual statements and original credit agreement. You can also check upcoming payments and how much you’ve paid towards your Phone Plan so far.
You can also view your monthly payment online in your My Vodafone account.
Watch and Connectivity Plan billing:
When you buy a smartwatch on our one of our Vodafone EVO for Sole Traders plans, your monthly payment will be split into two parts.
You’ll have one Direct Debit for your Watch Plan and one for your Connectivity Plan. Add these together and you’ll get the total cost of your monthly payment.
Watch Plan covers the cost of your smartwatch
Connectivity Plan covers the cost of your smartwatch connectivity
A Connectivity Plan is also known as OneNumber. It lets you share the allowances, phone number and contacts from your phone’s Xtra Plan or SIM only plan with your smartwatch. So you can use data, minutes and texts, even when you’re away from your phone or WiFi. You can find out more about your Connectivity Plan connection by visiting the OneNumber portal.
How to see both parts of my monthly payment
Download the My Vodafone app and go to the Dashboard. Choose Your Plans and you’ll see a tab for Airtime Plan and a tab for Device Plan.
Choose Airtime Plan to make sure your smartwatch is connected to our network. Choose Device Plan to view and manage your Watch Plan – you can make additional payments to your Watch Plan at any time.
Upgrading your phone:
You can upgrade your phone as soon as 12 months into your Phone Plan. You can choose to:
Trade in your old phone to help pay for your current phone faster
Pay it off in one go
Continue paying for it alongside your new phone
Simply visit the My Vodafone app and go to your Device Plan to upgrade.
If you don’t want to upgrade, you can choose to continue with your current plan.
You can’t have more than two Phone Plans at a time for each SIM. We’ll need to carry out a credit check and check your eligibility for each one. Find out more in our terms and conditions.
If you have a SIM only plan, such as a Red plan or an Airtime Xtra Plan, which was bought without a Phone Plan – you can upgrade as soon as three months from the start of your plan onto a new Pay monthly Airtime Xtra Plan and Phone Plan. Find out if you’re eligible to do so in your account or in the My Vodafone app.
Upgrading your smartwatch:
You can choose to upgrade your smartwatch as soon as 3 months into your Watch Plan. Either pay off your current smartwatch in one go or continue paying for it alongside your new smartwatch.
Simply visit the My Vodafone app and go to your Device Plan to upgrade.
If you don’t want to upgrade, you can choose to continue with your current plan.
How do I pay off my phone or smartwatch early?
You can make additional payments to your device plan at any time, by logging into your My Vodafone account online or by visiting the My Vodafone app and choosing Your Plans > Device Plan.
Choose to pay off some, or all your Phone or Watch Plan early. Once it’s paid off, you can decide to continue with your current Xtra or Connectivity Plan, upgrade or leave. Whichever you choose, you’ll only pay to keep connected, so your monthly payment will be lower.
Can I make a one-off payment for my Phone or Watch Plan?
You can make a one-off payment for your Phone or Watch Plan at any point. This reduces the amount you pay each month for the rest of your plan – but it won’t change the length of the Phone or Watch Plan agreement.
What happens once my phone or smartwatch has been paid off?
Once you’ve paid off your Phone or Watch Plan, you can decide to continue with your current Xtra Plan or Connectivity Plan, upgrade or leave. Whichever you choose, you’ll only pay to keep connected, so your monthly payment will be lower.
Find out more about what happens when you pay off your Phone Plan in full.
Battery Refresh
Battery Refresh is included with all our Phone Plans and covers you for two years, or the length of your plan – whichever is longer. It keeps your phone running at its best with battery health checks and replacements.
If you’re having issues with your battery performance, simply book an appointment with a member of our experienced Tech Team, who can help diagnose any problems and arrange a repair if needed – free of charge.
You’ll need to back up your phone before we send it off to be replaced, as all data will be wiped during repair.
We aim to have your phone back with you within three days, depending on when you booked it in.
Unfortunately we won’t be able to replace your battery if you have a cracked or broken screen.
