If it was auto cash back then yay but as you have to redeem them booo.

I did this last year with e2save and cashback is really easy and fully paid out. The deal last year was for about £8.50 a month for similar data etc

What do people do to use anywhere close to 16gb of data on their phone? I struggle to get anywhere near 4gb of usage and i'd say im a heavy user

I hit 8 gb for the first time last month, due to Spotify usage. I also found the trip advisor app using up a lot of my data in the background.

This includes Spotify subscription - this is a very good deal.

Sky go app use 1gig for 1 to 2 hours

I'm coming to the end of a Vodafone contract. Is there anything stopping me cancelling that and taking this one out as a new customer?

how do you get the 1 year entertainment bundle?

My daughter has the 20Gb version of this deal and previously had Uni/Spotify (half price) so this is excellent. Cashback is an easy online claim; most difficult bit is all the security on Vodafone to download the bill.

Does this deal definitely include the Entertainment Bundle ? It's not mentioned on their website.

You can usually work out if it's the entertainment bundle by comparing it to the sim only deals on Vodafone's own Website.

Anyone taken this out who can confirm it's including entertainment?

Yep, Entertainment definitely included. Doesn't actually say it when you order it, but has been confirmed on order dispatch .

Does it have option for Sky Sports mobile, or is it Spotify only?

Nice spot OP, heat added!

Is there a better (cheaper) 10Gig plus deal with any operator, even when deducting the 12-month entertainment bundle? Also, what is vodaphone's data speed like when roaming in EU; do they get throttled badly like Three's partners?

Cheers OP, I've gone for it.

Anyone got any suggestions for a PAYG SIM to port in out of Vodafone with please that doesn't require a £10 top up? O2 preferably for O2 moments :grin:

CS did begrudgingly offer me the migration to their PAYG SIM but said it'd take 30 days which means paying two tariffs at once (which would cost me another £24)

8 quid Quidco with GiffGaff for activating a SIM... that should do nicely for a port in and out.

I used Vodafone roaming in Italy (north to south).Always had 4g on motorways and towns. Much better than UK. No evidence of any speed throttling

I have gone for it for my son

Thanks, that is helpful! I know Vodaphone (Italy) have a decent reputation there, but wondered if they treated their 'roaming' UK counterparts better than Three. Even on Tre (Three Italy) the speeds are dire when roaming and no better with Wind who are now part of the same company.

Cheers

Will the Vodafone Advantage Scheme also work with this? another 30% off vodafone.co.uk/vod…ge/ Cheers

Can somebody kindly explain how the redemption works? Do you take out the contract and redeem straight away and get paid in 3 months on something or do you have to wait 6 months before you can redeem?

If you click the i button next to the offer it gives you the specific terms for that contract:

Save £99 Cashback by redemption on vodafone

Send your claim in line with the Cashback Claim Process below and we will credit you by cheque with £19.80 each time.

This will save you £99.00 over the 1 year of the contract. In effect this means that your average line rental per month over the contract period is £10.75 per month.

Cashback Claim Process:
Claiming your cashback couldn't be simpler. You will need to send in your mobile phone bill at months 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12

It's so simple to workout when you need to claim your cashback, please see the below table on when you should send your bills to us.

Bill Dated February 2018\x09£19.80
Bill Dated April 2018\x09£19.80
Bill Dated June 2018\x09£19.80

Bought this last year. No problems with mobiles.co.uk cashback it was online and easy. Moved my number to PAYG vodafone and waited for this deal to come back. Signed up today. Well spotted OP!

Thank you :-)

No, needs to be ordered direct with Vodafone and not discounted.

hi guys - i'm looking for a sim only deal - this sounds great - vodafone are offering me 16 p/month for free spotify/now tv/sports tv + unlimited mins/texts + 12 gb data so this deal is definitely good!

just want to confirm - the entertainment package is not listed when i go to the link - just says unlimited mins/text + 16 gb data - but it will come up once i have paid or once it is dispatched? thanks

also i'm already a pay monthly vodafone customer - can i cancel my current contract and take this as a new customer? i guess i wont be able to keep my old number ?

In terms of moving from Vodafone to Vodafone. Move your account to Vodafone pay as go or get your pac code and move to another network. You can get a free sim from three. I did the latter and moved to three and then ported back to Vodafone.

But if I give 30 days notice to switch to.payg this deal may not be active still in one month so will have to choose something else or whatever is available after 1 month - is that correct?

Either way do you keep your existing log in or if you port out would you lose that, just wary with vodafone as when there are issues they seem hard to rectify, is there a UK number or trick, by that I mean to avoid talking to an Indian who hasn't a clue or have I just been unlucky

I'm just coming to the end of my first year having ported out, and then potted back in using mobiles.co.uk. You lose your existing log on.

For me, I need to be careful to move my sure signal to a family member before doing the do

The mobiles.co.uk staff told me you would keep your Vodafone log in but they would tell you anything to get a sale.

Good point I have sure signal too.

I read somewhere on here you can cancel and it will revert to PAYG then you can take out another deal, would that be a safer bet to save the sure signal

One thing I did find out was changed phone the other day and the sky entertainment stopped working, apparently it will only work on the phone it was set up on

Yes, sounds like a move to PAYG would be safer/easier but I didn't realise you could do that so haven't checked it out yet. I'm sure historically that wasn't an option but fantastic if it is. I am wary of the 30 days people have been mentioning

So say you have a monthly Vodafone contract taken out via Mobiles.co.uk, you tell them you want to go PAYG

Then buy a new deal from Mobiles staying with Vodafone and they will be happy to move your number that you have had them convert to PAYG onto a new sim?

Sounds plausible to a point but many put it into practice as it seems hard work with vodafone if things not smooth

No mention of the Vodafone Red Entertainment on these 16 and 20GB options

(But scroll down to much pricier options and they do)

Anyone confirm this deal is still on?

Hit 'Info' and it reads --- Vodafone 4G Red Entertainment.

That's the one I bought last year and had the entertainment, ie choose spotify, sky and now tv think it was

‌ :face_with_monocle:

May not have used the suggested cashback however did get a £55 cash back offer through Vodafone.

I am pretty sure the answer is yes, but just being careful before I order! Can the redemption process be carried out completely online without actually having to print/scan anything; I would just need to forward online bills without the need for paper or printer?

Considering this for use while travelling and need to be able to do it entirely online.

Thanks in advance :smile:

Yes, I confirm that's the case. Of course, a slight inconvenience us that they send you a cheque, the ideal would be they pay directly into your bank.

Not sure if you're porting in from another network, even if it was a "day trip" but I've had a look and can't see how the port from VF PAYG to VF contract would work but interested to see if anyone's managed it

Yes from me as well.
Stick some items in your calendar that marry up with the redemption/bill dates and you won't forget then.

Thanks for both of your replies. I am currently with PAYG on Three that is a great overall service. However, it is terribly slow with data abroad. I have heard that Vodaphone is much faster, especially in Italy which is of most interest to me.

Thanks again :grin:

I see this deal is available on e2save also; is there any advantage in using them and is there an expiry date on this deal?

Thanks again :wink:

Does this deal expire at the end of July?

Cheers :smile:

e2save are also part of CPW group so no advantage either way.

No idea on how long the deal will be available for. They come and go - last year I took out 8gb for about a tenner. There's also 20gb for £13.75 if you want the extra data.

I've taken this deal exclusively for the data and Spotify. I just bung the SIM in a mifi and share the data with various devices. It's even better this year as it can be used in Europe and apparently, Voda do better that many of their competitors in tests.

Thanks again for the information; I agree with you about Europe and is the main reason I want to change and move from Three. They are hugely 'throttled' in Europe sometimes to the point of being unuseable. I managed to get a 10GB/month 4g data only SIM from Tre (Three Italy) for €5/month on a special, but I am not there at the moment, so I really need something that works well in both the UK and overseas.

I don't really need it yet, hence my question regarding expiry, but I might bite the bullet and order by Monday, just in case it ends in July

Cheers again :smile:

hot hot hot.. just ordered for the daughter as she is a data gobbler :grin:
just need to remember to do the cashback... oh and what is a cheque?

Mobiles.co.uk c/b now reduced to £63(16GB) or £75(20GB) - same for e2save
