- Logging in to My Vodafone
- Calling 4354 free from your Vodafone phone
- Texting BIGVALUE10, BIGVALUE15, BIGVALUE20, BIGVALUE30 or BIGVALUE40 to 2345, free from your Vodafone Pay as you go phone. You'll need to send the text from the phone you want to add the bundle to.
Please note: Once you've opted in to your Pay as you go Bundle, you'll pay our standard Pay as you go rates if it expires and you don't renew, or if you opt out of your bundle early.
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.

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)
You could be charged more than £1 if you purchase more data or use data outside of the UK or our Europe Zone, or make a call or send a text which isn't included in your Vodafone Pay as you go 1 plan.
The following services are not included in your Pay as you go 1 allowance:
- Premium and non-geographic calls or texts
- International calls
- Calls, messages or data usage from outside the UK or Europe Zone
We'll let you know each time you dial a number that's not included in your allowance so that you can choose whether to continue with the call.
Please see our Terms and conditions for more information about what's not included in your Pay as you go 1 plan, and charges for those excluded services.
