An allowance to use data, call standard UK mobiles and landlines (starting 01, 02 or 03), and standard texts to UK mobiles. You can also make calls to 08 and 118 numbers, but these aren't included in your plan, so please remember that they are subject to an additional charge. You can find more information on this in the Additional Charges table below.

Take your home plan abroad

Roaming further afield in Zone D costs £7.39 a day for all plans. You can check out all of our zones and destinations on our roaming page

Just to note, there is a 25GB of data roaming fair usage policy that applies to your monthly data usage and using your phone abroad for long periods of time may incur additional charges. Terms apply

Tethering
Your Vodafone Basics SIM can be used to share your device's data allowance with another device at no extra charge. You can even tether or hotspot all of your data to other devices if you want.

Changing your plan
Vodafone Basics plans can be upgraded once your 12-month contract ends, or you can swap to another SIM only plan at any point during your 12-month contract. All SIM only plans are eligible, so if you're looking for something that isn't included with Vodafone Basics, take a look at our SIM only plans for more plans, and even more options.

• Upgrades aren't available during your plan, but you can switch to another SIM only or Vodafone Basics plan

• Extras aren't compatible, except for Data, 08 number minute Extras, and Roaming Passes for our Europe Zone

• OneNumber connectivity, which enables you to share your phone’s data with your smartwatch and tablet, isn’t compatible with this plan
