Vodafone Mobile Plans

Vodafone's postpaid plans offer lots and lots of data. It's one of two providers that will let you keep browsing for free even when you hit your limit – at a reduced speed, of course. And if you need a new phone, it has the latest models to choose from on one of its SIM only plans.

If you can't ever get enough mobile data, Vodafone's got you covered with up to 150GB on a month-to-month SIM only plan. And once you've hit your limit, you can keep browsing for free.

  Vodafone's SIM only plans span the whole range from some data to an absolutely huge chunk, so long as you have your own handset. You can get anything from 10GB for $40 monthly up to 150GB for $80.

  If you do happen to go over your monthly limit, you won't be charged for excess, but instead will be able to access data at a reduced speed of 1.5Mbps. Some of the plans come with international minutes attached.

When you prefer to go month to month with a prepaid plan, you can choose from the handful Vodafone has on offer.

Vodafone's a major carrier and has the latest handset models on offer, including the Samsung Galaxy S20 series and the iPhone 11. We've shown the Samsung Galaxy S20 by default below, but you can choose the handset you're interested in by clicking the "filter results" button.

  When you want a handset along with your mobile plan, you can sign up for a 12-, 24- or 36-month contract on any of the regular SIM only plans. Your monthly repayments will then simply be the price of the plan plus the monthly charge for the handset. As one of the big three carriers, Vodafone has the latest and some older handsets on offer, including the Samsung Galaxy S20 range, the iPhone 11 and some Huawei and Oppo models.

  If you leave the contract early, you'll be required to pay off the remaining cost of the handset, but no other fees.

For those who don't use their phone very often or simply don't use data all that much, a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) plan can be a great way to make your credit last the whole year through.

• Read more about Vodafone PAYG plans

  With the Vodafone PAYG plans, you buy a certain amount of starter credit between $30 and $50 that lasts either half a year or a year, with more credit lasting longer. You will get credit deducted from this total for each minute of standard calls, each text sent and each MB of data used. When your credit reaches zero, your service will be cut off until you recharge.

Vodafone review: Why choose it?

So long as you're after huge amounts of data, Vodafone's plans are fairly reasonably priced. Very few other providers will even sell you 100GB or 150GB, making Vodafone a great choice for the seriously data hungry. On top of basic inclusions, Vodafone offers:

• International minutes. All but Vodafone's cheapest plans have some amount of international minutes included, split into two zones: one covering 22 countries and the other 70 countries.
• "Endless" data. Even when you hit your data cap, you can still use the Internet at a reduced speed of 1.5Mbps. This is currently the closest option to getting an unlimited mobile data plan.
• Bundling. Vodafone offers bundling discounts, where you can save by purchasing several Vodafone services together.
• Roaming. Vodafone's plans automatically have roaming enabled, where you can use your plan inclusions normally for $5 a day. Outside of eligible countries, you'll be charged much higher PAYG rates and are probably better off with a cheaper solution like a local SIM.
• Data add-ons. Get between 2GB and 14GB extra monthly on your plan for $15 to $45 more per month.
• International packs. Vodafone has a selection of international call packs and boosters that provide talk minutes or discounted rates for an extra $5 to $10 per month.
• Data sharing. If you have multiple plans on the one account, they can share data between them.
• Vodafone passes. There are a number of "passes" you can purchase that will let you make certain activities on certain apps data-free at a speed of 1.5Mbps for a monthly charge. These include a chat pass for messaging apps, a social pass for social media sites, music pass for music streaming and a video pass for streaming platforms.
