Vodafone UK Abolishes Roaming Charges for Summer and cuts long distance cost for good - Page 8

Is this free-incoming action available on all vodafone cards?
I mean, if I buy one on ebay, will I (as a non UK resident) be able to use it, top it up, ... ?

Thanks
Yves

Yes, to all British Vodafone prepaid SIMs ("pay as you go" or "PAYG") after you have activated the Passport option by texting "PASSPORT" to 2345. On that ocassion you should also text "BONUS BANK" to 2345 and you'll get 10% bonus for every topup.

Yes, that works, however topping up is not that convenient, as Vodafone accepts only British credit cards on their website. I found this online shop where they sell Vodafone topup vouchers below nominal value, but I first had to ask if they accept me, since they are actually closed to new customers. If you refer to this forum, they may accept you.

But keep in mind, that Vodafone's Passport promotion will end on August, 31st!

Pity my Vodafone UK card has expired... Pity that promotion is for a limited period only.

Postpaid Vodafone Hungary customers choosing the "Europa" plan can call and divert their calls to Vodafone UK numbers for less than 0.09 EUR/min gross at today's HUF/EUR rate. That was why I had a Vodafone UK and Vodafone HU card when I was working in the UK. Now that would cover several other countries as well.

If you have a UK address, up to four free pay as you go vodaphone sims can be ordered online here:

https://www.v-store.co.uk/index.cfm?...eeSims.details

There's no minimum term contract, no strings attached – and delivery is free.

babble · **Calling abroad from UK looks interesting -** 14-05-2009, 18:13

Calling abroad FROM UK ONLY - costs 5p/min with the PAYG sim to landlines in the following countries:

Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Lithuania, Latvia, Slovakia,
Thailand, Turkey, China, Hong Kong, Russia, Nigeria, India and Pakistan.

Does anyone know if free DIDs are available for any the countries listed above?

babble · **Terms and conditions of the free sim offer -** 14-05-2009, 18:23

I have just read the terms and conditions of the free sim offer. In this text vodafone refers to the Anynet and Anytime tariffs - not the Simply tariff, which is the PAYG tariff for receiving free incoming european calls this summer. What a pity!

Perhaps it´s worth ordering a free vodafone sim anyway.

Terms and conditions for those interested in the offer: http://online.vodafone.co.uk/dispatc...ageID=PTC_0007

babble · **New PAYG sims are perhaps on the Simply tariff -** 14-05-2009, 18:38

I have just found a page on the vodafone website that says that the older Anynet and Anytime tariffs are no longer available. My guess is that vodafone is shipping new PAYG sims that are on the Simply tariff.
