Frequently asked questions

Your Pay as you go Plus plan works like a monthly subscription - you'll be asked to register a payment card when you first join, and we'll use this card to take payment each month. If you choose to add any Extras to your plan, it'll be charged to this same payment card.

To manage or change your payment method, open the dashboard screen of the My Vodafone app, then select Payments from the navigation at the bottom.

We accept Mastercard or Visa credit cards. We do not accept American Express, Maestro or Electron cards.

With our Pay as you go bundles, you can use your data, minutes and texts in the UK, and whilst roaming in Zone A (Republic of Ireland, Isle of Man, Iceland and Norway)

If you're roaming in Zone B, our Europe Zone, and you want to make any calls, send any texts, or use data, you'll need to purchase one of our 8-day Europe Extras. Visit our Extras page for more information.

Head to our travelling abroad page for more on roaming charges and using your phone in other countries.
