VF PAYG "Data User Plan" 15Gb/unlimited calls/texts €20/28 days

VF Called me and offered me this package if I switched back, seems as though the port failed (Girl never took my Eir account number) Can't seem to get through to anyone in VF that can help. Anyone else have a port fail?

Call them back on sales line, they will surely help, number is back on few pages.

I am told the plan takes 3 days to activate once the port completes, has it taken this long for everyone else?

Can be less and can be more.

I think it was answered previously in this thread, but do we need to top up by 20 euros each time or would 5 suffice if there's plenty of credit on the account? When looking in the app it says that 20 euros must be topped up every 28 days in order for the Student offer to continue.

has to be 20 to activate the plan. I then buy 100 mins with €5 of credit (you can also get unlimited minutes for 15).

Leftover credit - you can get Spotify, Sky Sports Mobile; or you could IOU it to someone else (I use it to top up the kids phones). There's also a thread on Bargain Alerts about spending unused credit.

Top up by 20 gets 15GB and texts for 28 days.

Topping up by 5, 10 or 15 will only add to your credit, it won't activate the offer. There's no advantage in doing that if you have plenty of credit. Credit can't be used to buy the offer, only for add ons, but the data / text add ons are poor value compared to 15GB and texts for 20.

The next time you top up by 20 or more it will activate again. You don't lose it by leaving a gap.

Ok, thanks. I have loads of credit now and won't want to add 20 each month as it's way beyond what I need. Just don't want to lose the offer by not adding 20 euros every 28 days.

Well you better buy some data or it data usage will eat your credit fairly quickly without an addon

Did you get a text to tell you that you were on the plan?

I've ported but no sign of the plan confirmation, do you just top up by 20 and hope that you are on the plan?

It takes a few days but if you have a look at the app student offer appears, they usually give you €20 free when it activates to.

Text BAL to 50233

If there's a balance of 15GB in the returned SMS then it's active.

Don't top up yet.

You can schedule top up within the Vodafone app and use do it later app to send the talk text to 50233 to keep you on the deal. Double check the text number 50XXX

Check if your apps are updating over data instead of WiFi?

Red roaming works once opted in
