Vodafone promotion but works with any mobile number, they send you a tag to stick to your phone (or wherever!) and a contactless Visa card.
You do not register your own debit card at any time in the sign up process, your card and tag are then sent to you. You can top up or just spend the £5.
You can use the tag even if your battery is empty, can also send money to other SmartPass users (donations gratefully received, lol)
You only need a Android or iphone to download the app and register, then delete as you can login and access from https://vodafonesmartpass.com/log/uk/ after set up to do anything further, like activate your tag and card...ie borrow someones mobile, download, register with your own mobile number in the app by changing it when it reads the number off the sim, input your details, complete registration and delete app :wink:
.
20,000 £5 credits are up for grabs, grab your free lunch - who said there is no such thing?!
Merry Xmas HUKD :kiss:

i know it's just me, but i don't see where it says you get a tag to stick on the phone- looks like you get a contactless sim card, but the terms and conditions say you must be a vodafone customer first- does that mean you replace your existing sim?
edit: OK, I see it now when I look at iphone info-> smart tag.
Almost voting cold, becasue nowt for windows mobile.

There's never anything for Windows mobile. They're always late to the party. That's why I sold my Windows phone and got an Android.

Isn't this better under Freebies?, because it is free for Vodafone customers. Also if not, Vodafone SIM can be requested free.

Heads up, the Vodafone Wallet app won't install on a rooted device.

Another heads up - it will install on firmware/software from another mobile network, my Android runs on EE coded firmware.

What a pile of **** my phone has built in Nfc, no way I'm sticking crap to the outside of it. Also says your phone is not supported in your region.
Well I'm from the UK and using a Z3C

I agree, you may as well tape a normal contactless card to your phone. That way you never have to top-up!
Heat added for the free £5 though

I signed up but now it tells me it can't do a transaction. All I'm trying to do is login. I believe this is because I don't yet have the cards they're sending out. (Which is fair enough since I only just signed up.)
As for the nfc, if your phone has built in nfc shouldn't that be enough for the app without have to add stickers? I believe it is.
The last Gadget Show (One can still watch on Demand 5) had a fair bit about all the nfc bank card stuff. I just think the women at my local coop are going to get confused if I try to hand my phone over as my bonus card. They always swipe the cards. My phone is thin, but not that thin. lol btw I know how this tech works, I'm just looking forward to the faces on some of the local staff. :stuck_out_tongue:
EDIT: I just logged in online, and sure enough, it shows £5 in the account.

I wont stick it to my mobile, I have a wrist band from Barclaycard Bpay before they ended that that 1st round of contactless and said you had to buy a replacement, lol just LOL, hopefully it will fit in that.
My balance shows as £0 but the transaction history says £5 pending (this is on the app, web login just says £5 :smile:)
Free worldwide ATM cash until 30th Dec, then £2, max withdrawl is £100 at a time with the Smartpass companion Visa Debit.
12 months of no action and the card charges £1 a month apparently, if its unused for that period but empty and they cant collect the £1 its closed down.
