Vodafone Deals & Offers

Chili is awful on my Panasonic. HD is worse then SD, pretty much unwatchable. My wife has £10 credit from NHS offer and we havent bothered using it. I think the problem is they've switched to a more efficient streaming but haven't updated all their apps. So the ones that havent been updated get an awful bitrate. Getting a Fire Stick soon and hoping its better.

Yes! So much better than Chili

Yes, they do need to be taught basic manners. Please and thank you go a long way. :)

They then need to be taught some basic manners in how to say please & thank you.

At least you were polite and said 'please' though. Most don't. (annoyed)

Then your out of luck. That's why it's best to go for 12 months rather than 24.

Thankyou have gone for this, fed up of O2, they charged me £900 for calls when I went over my minutes when my mum had passed away....so Thankyou and good riddance to O2 (y) 🏽

How good they are for honouring cashback, what if they go into administration?

11 months ago I was paying £20 for 50mb of which I cannot tell the difference . Will cancel and try for closer to £20.

Was paying £47 for 200mb which I also do not need, can still stream 4k on Netflix, Prime, YouTube which is 99% of my usage.

Essential items generally hold value in a recession, the biggest price drops are luxury. A mobile phone/TV are not seen as luxuries more hardware ‘utility’ these days. At the moment due to Covid they are selling much lower prices holding up conglomerate companies sales, when a recession hits income luxuries go, we are in airbag mode recession with furlough scheme already, the balance just now is people can spend on essentials, when gov support ends and redundancies hit they can’t (Universal Credit can’t even buy a NHS healthy diet if you have creditors to pay.) but everyone else will still buy essentials in a recession. Companies now are taking a hit on margins and clearing warehouses, keeping some revenue up as not to damage the financial year/share price & hopefully end up breaking even. Planning. Once ‘essentials‘ pre recession stock levels/warehouses are cleared prices will revert upwards - and as production slows. Now is the time to mobile/tv up. When you open lockdown you open up mass consumerism, expect sales from those fighting for survival, those well run with resilience will price essentials at market prices not sales unless they themselves have excess non sale-or-return. A recession always hits the poorest/bad money handling the worst, I’m prepared years ago, because I’ve seen several recessions in my life & watched company/human behaviour. Recessions feed the wealthy & those good at handling/saving money by taking from the poorest.

WHAAATTTTTT !!!!???? DO NOT BUY NOW , WAIT do you even know what you are saying???? Buy now because there is a recession coming, NO , WAIT until we are in the recession , the prices will come down or are you suggesting they will increase during a recession. Sales will plummet companies will lower prices to make products more affordable, thus cheaper for everyone :)

Large purchases will fall, everyday essential purchases like mobiles will rise, people prioritise now esp when Lockdown is ‘over’ and furlough fully ends the Oct. There will be more demand later which equals $upply. If you have the cash to prioritise a good new mobile deal now do it. Buy mobiles/TVs etc now they are trying to shift them knowing a recession is coming/tech divisions holding parent companies up, cars/houses etc later as prices come down, we are already in a recession - a furlough tax one, when that ends the companies and thus ‘luxury’ sales suffer, essiential sales much less so.

Given Threes high 5G spectrum allocation when it’s rolled out the other networks will look like Plusnet, the poor ugly EE sister. We just have to be more patient now Covid has delayed its 5G rollout for manpower building up 4G capacity pipes to base stations ;) BT Wholesale no longer have the monopoly on MBNL backhaul so Three can plough Virgin/CityFibre or another host of suppliers pipes to their base station transmitters. It’s a pain this delayed rollout that was behind already but nearly everything is Covid delayed these days.

Wish that was on three😄

And this, right here, is the reason these sorts of promotions and giveaways get removed from Loyalty services, as people publicly post the code so people that are not eligible, flood the service.

You need to download the app

Code is VERYME20 I'm sure it's non-specific. Apparently you don't need to sign up.

do you need to have a touchnote phone to do this?

Website works but the app keeps giving me a loading error?

It's Vodafone by the way, unless this is a company in China

I think you're reading into my brief message about an issue that can have many factors as stating within your reply. I agree with your statements as I'm familiar with the IT sector and can tell you I did many test and went far as to analyze the packet captures and found varies issues but it's not consistent for me to flag Vodafone as a bad ISP as Sky has been good for to me but I know it's not been the best experience for others however both run on openreach it just depends how ISP's manage their traffic. WiFi did not come into the equation as it will never be as accurate as using a wired connection. Overall for me it has not been stable and Vodafone themselves have acknowledged the issue.

If you get a lower connection speed with another router then that isn’t Vodafone’s fault. If it’s the sync rate you’re referring to then it would be the same with any FTTC/VDSL ISP because they all use the same Openreach equipment at the other end. For the same reason, connection stability won’t be any different between ISPs (with the same router). If you’re talking about actual throughput then that’s a different story and will vary between ISPs for many reasons. Your local environment can drastically affect speeds obtained via WiFi and some routers will be better than others in this respect.

I'm with Vodafone, I can tell you now the connection hasn't been stable for me as with the previous ISP. The guarantee speed is flawed as when you use the Vodafone router it reads 60+ mbs when you use your own router (Draytek) it's around 52 mbs with no QOS or firewall rules set up on the bright side they do let you use your own router.

I’m having Vodafone broadband (but business) activated tomorrow and I’m wondering what I have got myself into.... I’m actually getting a second line activated the following day too thanks to a monumentally fricked up ordering process

Holy cow and I thought my 150mbps in London was good. You win the 4G speed challenge. Congrats. Totally jealous even that upload speed.

Be careful - deals probably end tonight (end of the financial quarter) - Quidco has ends in 4 hours against a similar deal. I can only see Fonehouse 50p a month cheaper, but they also have 100GB for the same £8! Choices! If it was £48 in around £300 I would go with Fonehouse, if £12 mobiles.co.uk.

I know that... And when i did that test i was out in high street. Here u go without wifi with highest speed i got on Vodafone

The connection shows multi which means both WiFi and mobile data where used at the same time. Look up wi-fi assist. Both iPhones and Android phones can do this.

ok thanks for the info. the difference between the 2 deals is £2 a month for 24 months

Or mobiles.co.uk

They accept via email now https://www.affordablemobiles.co.uk/help/cashback Still not as good as Fonehouse cash back method though

You should use the tube for free high speed WiFi ;)

How do you redeem the cashback from this site?

Yes

Thanks for this @Itssocheap Nice to see some feedback here to explain the code votes.

Limited unlimited! There is a term for that!

„Data is restricted to 10mbps” which is just bad

Thanks! We all think differently. Pointed out that it maybe an error in the 24 Month freebie but even if it is 12 months, still works out @£14 per month for unlimited data. Of course your only saving if you are already subscribed to any of the freebie deals and can cancel. Not if your taking the deal for the freebie. Wood for the trees and all that!

Voted hot for effort alone,welcome to HUKD,suffering is better together

Camera phone and a secondary phone (lol) (lol) (lol) (lol)

As much as I can agree with you,this is the current situation. Security updates patches are provided by Google and manufacturers as well I suppose. Huawei might offer some security or not,or to some they are scary spies. Probably most people and average Joe's don't even know or care about software updates and security patches or Android versions.. I think that the only way to persuade these companies to do more..is to buy less. No point for me discussing about the ban and politics, whose fault is etc, I just think that as long as people understand what they are about to buy and what do they actually get, then it's up to them eventually to decide how their money should be spent. Personally I've never had problems about software and security, due to my technical mindset and background, but others might just approach differently their purchases based on different needs and abilities. We can discuss philosophically about fairness and how things should be, but then we are just seen half of the problem,which is what others should do and don't; the other half is the same, being us the ones not taking action...so, each decision depends on different circumstances, as well here about how much is worth the risk about buying this device,knowing everything we already know about it...

I think it is (mad) ridiculous that folk accept paying £500 (maybe north of £1000 in some mad cases) for a phone that does not get security updates for at least 3 or 4 years! Bit like buying a car & finding that the manufacturer stops making available the break pads after a few years! Any internet connection device (where connecting to the Internet is a primary function) should really have security updates for 4 to 5 years. We have become too accepting of companies relying on our willingness to buy at higher prices & far too regularly.

Better off with Talkmobile with Vodafone network and no rip off download speeds and usage overseas.

well been with vodafone for 20 years plus any issues are sorted promptly others i have had on second accounts haven't been so good imo

Voted cold all new contracts are worthless.....WARNING....before you contemplate joining Vodafone check out any forum, twitter feed, Facebook feed, tread very carefully. Trustpilot 1.2 / 5 and dropping, speaking from experience download speed 0.67mbs upload speed 2.75mbs you have been warned, I'm stuck at the moment but you don't have to be, customer service is just lip service. Should be #Voda'can't'fone

Have had the worst 48 hours of customer experience with Vodafone than I have ever had in my life... Even if it was a deal I wouldn't recommend that shower of lying incompetent idiots..

Does anyone know what Vodafone speeds are on gigabyte plans as it doesn’t mention¿ ?

Does anyone know if the free 6 months Spotify offer comes with this? I've seen the offer on argos and other places, who advertise this handset at £180

Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S probably the best choice in that budget

Great find better then last deal you posted for clove technology plus even if this phone wasn't unlocked it only cost a few pounds on eBay to unlock from a reliable seller or u could just get voxi SIM and a plan and your on your way (horror)

I've been asked to look for a phone for a 12 year old. In this budget say £100-200, what are the best options?

32gb internal memory, will soon clogg up and slow it down
