Trade-in savings snapshot

As part of the recent merger with Three, Vodafone customers can now automatically use Three’s network, at no extra cost. This means customers’ devices will automatically connect to more coverage where available – whether that’s on the Vodafone or Three network – proving that two networks are better than one. What’s more, with Vodafone’s 5G Ultra, customers can enjoy 10x faster speeds than 4G and greater 5G coverage.

Because Vodafone recognises that some customers want to keep their phone lasting longer, it offers the UK’s only Lifetime Service Promise on all Pay Monthly phones. This means every new and refurbished phone comes with Battery Refresh and Lifetime Warranty, so phones last longer with Vodafone, at no extra cost.

What’s more, with all of Vodafone’s Pay Monthly Phone Plans, customers can spread the cost up to 36 months at 0% APR, with flexible upfront costs. And, with Vodafone Insurance, customers can protect their new iPhone for less, with the first three months at half price. Vodafone’s cover is built with tech in mind, from our manufacturer approved parts to worldwide cover, next-day replacements and inclusive AppleCare services. 

How Vodafone and Three are sharing their mobile networks: everything you need to know

'MOCN' is the first major mobile benefit of the Vodafone-Three merger in the UK for customers of both networks. Here's what it means for you and how it works.

Finally, for those looking for an award-winning loyalty scheme and perks, VeryMe Rewards offers weekly discounts and giveaways, such as a free drink at Costa Coffee or two Odeon tickets for £8. Or you can even gift selected rewards to a friend.
