Pay as you go Bundles
Each of our 30-day bundles come packed with data, minutes and texts, making them great value for those who regularly use their phone.
Pay as you go 1
This is our standard Pay as you go rate - you'll pay just £2 each day you use your phone - and nothing on the days you don't.
Pay as you go Bundles frequently asked questions
We'll send you a reminder by text a few days before your bundle is due to renew.
If you've got enough credit on your account, you don't need to do anything - your bundle will renew automatically and with Total Rollover, any unused allowances will roll over into the next 30 days.
If you don't have enough credit, you'll have a seven-day grace period to top up so your bundle will renew. You'll pay our standard plan rates during this period.
Visit our Pay as you go Bundles page to see our full range of bundles.
Once you've decided which one you'd like to switch to, text the code you'll find underneath the bundle details to 49501. You need to send this text from the Vodafone mobile you'd like to add the bundle to.
For example, if you decide to switch to our £15 bundle, just text BVB15 to 49501.
