Vodafone EVO: Everything you need to know

The newest Pay Monthly mobile plans from Vodafone are not only highly flexible, they’re also brimming with benefits. And they put you in control. Here’s a breakdown of every single one.

These latest devices from Samsung are available with Vodafone EVO, the smart way to buy a new smartphone. The flexible mobile offering lets customers get their new device at a monthly price that suits them best. Customers can decide how much they want to pay upfront for their new device, as well as choose the length of their device plan – anything from 3-36 months interest-free. Vodafone EVO customers can also take advantage of flexible upgrades, allowing them to get a new phone from three months into their plan.

Every Samsung phone purchased on Vodafone EVO now comes with the UK’s only Lifetime Service Promise. This new market-leading offering provides customers with Battery Refresh and Lifetime Warranty, at no extra cost. Customers benefit from free battery health checks and replacements for up to three years with Battery Refresh.
