Vodafone launches UK's only Lifetime Service Promise

Every phone comes with Battery Refresh and Lifetime Warranty at no extra cost, so phones last longer with Vodafone EVO.

With Vodafone’s Trade-in Guarantee, customers receive a guaranteed price upfront, meaning they can get a new phone for less, with the saving applied to their monthly plan or towards settling an existing Phone Plan.

For those who want to keep their Samsung device lasting longer, the UK’s only Lifetime Service Promise provides free battery health checks, replacements and a Lifetime Warranty, at no extra cost.

Lifetime Warranty is Vodafone’s best-ever care for devices and the only one of its kind on the market. It covers device repairs against manufacturer faults for as long as customers have a Pay Monthly Airtime Plan, giving customers great peace of mind.

What’s more, with Battery Refresh, customers don’t have to worry about their battery. If customers are having any issues they simply use the Battery Refresh Tool in the My Vodafone app to check its status and visit a Vodafone store to have it sent off to be replaced – free of charge. Battery Refresh covers battery health checks and replacements for up to three years.​
