    EU got rid of roaming charges WITHIN THE EU.

    After Brexit UK wont be in EU, so Vodafone can charge roaming if they want...similar to when you roam in non-EU countries.

    I'm pretty sure if you're with Vodafone Ireland Ltd they will continue to be required not charge for roaming within the EU. As far as Vodafone UK customers, yeah I'd assume they've screwed themselves.

    I got one of these calls because I was an old customer and they cold call them to get you back.

    Top up by E20 for data and texts, then use E15 for calls, then E5 left over, its an old student deal from few years ago

    Be prepared for hassle, I had so much messing with porting then getting the deal as it "doesn't exist"

    But I think its worth it all as Vodafone is meant to be the best

    Agreed. I'm on this last September but my God was there teething problems setting up. Working fine since though. Don't use the Vodafone app, the customer service reps are based in some far flung part of the world which makes it harder to resolve the issue.

    However, Vodafone have said that they will likely not introduce new charges, because they have the strongest network in the UK you'd only be roaming with themselves so they can say this.

    Put it this way, if the EU roaming for the UK is abolished Vodafone is in a good position to do without extra chages as a competitive advantage.

    I recommend you check out the Eir (eir) website, and their deals, 30 day rolling contract, 15GB data and free any network calls, plus your YouTube/WhatsApp/Line/Facebook etc is free (doesn't come off your 15GB allowance). Watch YouTube vids all day every day, free.

    The social allowance is 60GB/28days. Once you go over that then the likes of YouTube will come off the 15GB allowance.

    Most/all customer care places are non Irish shall we say.

    The best course of action is to find out via threads on here or social media which network has the least issues, then won't matter if there's no customer care as you won't be calling/live chat etc them

    My dad is on PAYG on 48 but is always running out of minutes. We have Vodafone at Home. Might call the sales line later and see is there anything they can do. Its my mobile number registered against the Vodafone account so I'd be waiting a while for them to ring him

    Were you a Vodafone customer already?
    Did you contact them or visa versa?

    With them as a PAYG customer for donkeys.
    They're always ringing up with "deals" but never got this offer.

    I had to go into a store as it's extremely difficult for them to apply.

    I was fixed up then.

    This looks identical to the Student offer they do on-campus in October around the country where you have to show them your student card. (Not Vodafone X).

    But the data is only available through the live APN.
    So you can't tether on iOS.

    Would love to know if those who have this offer can tether on iOS

    I forgot about Spotify add-on,might start using it with recent events

    Basically it's Vodafone x deal with a Spotify option, rather then take full 20 and have to get Spotify

    You can tether for free as long as you can select the Live APN. From what I understand, iPhones are so stupid, they force you to use the Data APN for tethering which costs 19c/MB on PAYG.

    Try live chat, or email, or facebook or boards talk to?

    ANYTHING not involving talking is worth a try for a great deal/service, but don't hold your breath, spoken or written they cant understand most of it
