Frequently asked questions
You have the following options for topping up your phone:
My Vodafone app
Download the My Vodafone app to view your balance, top up and manage your plan.
Online
Check your balance online with My Vodafone and top up anytime using our Top up portal
By phone
Dial *#1345# free from your Vodafone Pay as you go phone to see your balance on screen.
Call 2345 free from your Vodafone Pay as you go phone to hear your balance or top up.
If you don't have your Vodafone mobile with you, call the Pay as you go credit line on 03333 048048 from any other UK mobile or landline (standard call charges apply).
By text
Top up over the phone on 2345 free from your Vodafone Pay as you go mobile.
To top up again, text TOPUP to 2345 with the amount you want to add and the last four digits of your payment card - for example, text TOPUP 10 1234 to add £10 using a card ending in 1234.
Top up in store or buy a voucher
You can top up in your nearest Vodafone store at a self-service Top Up kiosk. Or you can buy a pre-loaded voucher and use it to top up online.
Top up automatically
Just download the My Vodafone app and choose Top Up from the main menu, then select Auto Top up.
Alternatively, you can call 18829 free from the Vodafone Pay as you go mobile you want to register and make your initial Top up. Then choose how often you want your Top up to automatically activate - weekly, monthly or every 30 days.
Vodafone Total Rollover lets you keep any unused data, minutes and or texts from your previous Pay as you go bundle, and use them in the next 30-day period.
You'll need to use any allowances that roll over within the next 30 days. Your allowance won't roll over more than once, so you can't save it for longer than 30 days.
You won't be eligible to roll over your allowance if:
You renew you Pay as you go bundle early
You switch to another Pay as you go bundle
Your bundle doesn't automatically renew by the end of day 30 (due to not having enough credit in your account)
To keep your Pay as you go number active, you need to use it for at least one chargeable activity - like sending a text or topping up - every 180 days.
If you don't top up or use any credit for 90 days, we'll send you a text explaining that your account will expire in another 90 days.
To avoid this, simply use your phone for a chargeable activity after you receive the reminder text. This will let you carry on as normal with your current number.
However, if you don't use your phone within that 90-day period, your mobile number will be disconnected and will no longer work.
