New customers can experience London’s Best Network for free, without changing their number, and with no strings attached.
- The trial is available to non-Vodafone mobile customers in the capital, who can enjoy 50GB data, 500 minutes and 500 texts on London’s Best Network** for seven days, without changing their number, by simply scanning a QR code or visiting the Vodafone website.
- Vodafone intends to expand the trial across various cities in 2025 and will also offer it at events throughout the summer, including Glastonbury Festival and Boardmasters Festival.
- In February 2025, Vodafone was crowned London’s Best Network by NET CHECK*** for the second year running.
In a European first*, Vodafone has become the first mobile network operator to offer mobile customers on other networks the opportunity to participate in a free 7-day network trial in a major city.
With no commitments or strings attached, Vodafone invites users to experience London’s Best Network** for 7-days completely free with 50GB of data, 500 minutes and 500 texts included.
To take advantage of the trial, non-Vodafone mobile customers must simply scan a QR code (which can be found across London) or visit the Vodafone website to sign up online, with the eSIM being installed via the My Vodafone app. All they need to try the network for free is an eSIM-compatible smartphone.
The company will also bring the trial back to some of the UK’s most loved festivals, such as Glastonbury Festival and Boardmasters Festival, giving everyone attending the opportunity to experience Vodafone’s award-winning connectivity.
Vodafone has a long heritage in serving the nation since the very first mobile phone call was made via its network in 1984. Today, it offers coverage to 99% of UK households and is the network of choice for 82% of the country’s emergency services.
Vodafone believes everyone should have access to connectivity and the opportunities it provides. Through its everyone.connected campaign, which provides SIM cards, devices and digital skills to those most in need, Vodafone has donated more than 300,000 SIMs since the start of 2021.
