Our priority is to help your business thrive by providing cutting-edge technology and connectivity solutions. We’re continually investing in enhancing our network and services to better support your business.
Like many businesses, we continue to face rising operating costs, so as part of our commitment to quality we will need to make changes to our pricing as outlined below. We understand that no one likes to hear about price increases, but these adjustments will help us maintain the high level of service and innovation you’ve come to expect from Vodafone Business.
The price rise will be applied to your Airtime Plan costs, Connectivity, out of bundle charges and some of your add-ons and extras (see the full list of impacted SOHO add ons). NB: Add-ons and Extras are increased by the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) +3.9% (2.5% +3.9% = 6.4%) rate published by the Office for National Statistics in January 2025.
From 1 April 2025, your price plans will be subject to the new pricing.
For contracts with CPI +3.9% price adjustment:
The actual adjustment is dictated by the CPI rate published by the Office for National Statistics in January (consumer contracts and business plans) each year, plus an additional 3.9%.
As an example, if the rate is 2.5%, prices would be affected as follows (with 3.9% added to the 2.5%, totalling 6.4%):
A customer paying £22 a month would see their plan increase by £1.40 a month from April
A customer paying £40 a month would see their plan increase by £2.56 a month from April
For contracts with RPI price adjustment:
The actual adjustment is dictated by the RPI rate published by the Office for National Statistics in March (consumer contracts) and January (business plans) each year.
As an example, if the rate is 3.5%, prices would be affected as follows:
A customer paying £22 a month would see their plan increase by £0.77 a month from April
A customer paying £40 a month would see their plan increase by £1.40 a month from April
For fixed rate contracts:
As your pre contract summary stated at point of sale, the fixed rate of £1.50 exc VAT will be applied to your monthly price plan charge. However, as your monthly line rental is charged for one month in advance, you will see a pro-rated price rise amount within your March 2025 invoice and revert to an increase of £1.50 exc VAT from your April 2025 invoice onwards.
Any out of bundle charges, or charges for add-ons and extras will be increased by the CPI +3.9% (2.5% +3.9% = 6.4%) rate published by the Office for National Statistics in January 2025. For your broadband services, as stated in your pre contract summary at point of sale, the fixed rate of £2.50 per month excl. VAT will be applied.
We’re not changing existing customers’ terms and conditions.
Our annual price rise takes place every April. Impacted customers will be notified ahead of the price rise taking effect.
The Fixed Price Promise hasn’t been applicable for new or upgrading customers since 5 May 2016, but we’ll continue to honour it for customers who purchased a Pay monthly plan before that date until the end of their contract.
