Keep connecting
Keep up to date with how we are helping you to keep connecting during these uncertain and constantly changing times.
Welcome back
It’s been a while. As you’d expect, we’ve taken extraordinary measures to make sure our stores are as safe as possible – including deep cleans, limiting the number of people in store at any one time, and we’ve installed Perspex screens at over 2,000 service stations. We can’t wait to see you in store again.

Data sharing in response to Coronavirus
As part of the Vodafone Group’s Five-Point Plan to help counter the impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak, we are committed to help improve governments’ insights into people’s movements in affected areas.
Keeping our network reliable
We’ve added extra capacity to our broadband and mobile networks to help them cope with any extra demand as more people work from home. That, along with the billions we’ve invested in the last five years, means that they’re strong and robust, and as reliable as possible for you.
Staying connected
We've put together some useful information for those of you who are working from home, our Pay monthly, home broadband, and Pay as you go customers.
Using your phone
There are several things that you can do thanks to our network that’ll keep you connected to your loved ones, like setting up WiFi calling, making conference calls, calling friends and family abroad, and more.
Here are some useful links and tips that’ll help you get the most out of your phone to stay connected.
Working with your home broadband
If you’re using a Vodafone Home Broadband connection to work at home, know that we continually monitor your line and optimise the performance to make sure you’re getting the strongest Wi Fi signal possible.
Here’s some information on what you can do to make your home broadband work best.
More information for Pay as you go customers
There are multiple ways you can top up your phone if you can’t get into a store. Plus, we offer a range of services that’ll let you keep on top of your balance and give you options in case you run out of credit.
We want to make sure that you can stay connected if you’re on one of our flexible Pay as you go plans.
