Sign in to your Vodafone account. Select top up offer. It will bring you to a page where you can select whatever you want. The offer will change the next time you top up.

Just a heads up for anyone else the offer changes straight away, only lost 3 days so not too bad

You lose your current balance when you switch.

So I switched from music to sky sports and my Spotify premium is still running which is strange

I didn't spot it mentioned here yet, but an option that might help people who don't want to pay for Spotify is using YouTube premium. Sign up in India (using the same steps as the cheap Netflix thread) and it works out at €2.30 or so a month, and you can have 6 people on your family plan if you want to share. You get YouTube premium, YouTube music and Google play music. I pay using revolut, not sure if you could set it up and then switch to carrier payment, maybe though...

Hi dulpit, did any of your family member get the following error?

Looks like you're in a different country from the family manager.

have tried VPN/Tor browser to register the family member, but keep getting same error

Cheers
Paul

It will stay active until your months subscription is up.

Define best?
Quality?
Value? (Cheap)

I got a text inviting me to a Level Up website from Vodafone, offering courses, working spaces, and 6 months free spotify... it's not clear if the 6 months are available to existing Vodafone X with Spotify customers. I'm confused by this.

It’s aimed at the young folk (students)
Sounded stupid to me so I just deleted the text, Vodafone have done a terrible job explaining it but as long as I get 20gb of data with texts and a few minutes I’m happy

Reasonable coverage, minimally 4G, and needs to be lots of Data, min 10G-15G to be on the safe side, not lots of minutes or texts as they sledom make calls. Currently on a all you can eat SIMO deal with Eir, but cost increased to 30E a month and that's just too much.

VF has the best coverage and X Weekends gives 25gb (extra free at the weekends) for €20. Hard to beat IMHO.

3 are rubbish, outside of towns I never had internet, call coverage was patchy enough too.

thanks for the feedback. How does it work, do i have to top-up every 28 days, is there a way to set it up as a direct debit or standing order? as i dont want the hassle of having to do it for 3 kids at potentially 3 different dates every month.......Yes, i appreciate that it would be warranted to say i need to be more organised, but i know this will get missed if its a manual process.....

You can set it up through the vodafone app for each account.

I switched to this last week from Vodafone bill pay and now my mobile hotspot no longer works. I use that all the time so this is pretty useless for me without it. I tried calling Vodafone about it but can't seem to actually get through to anyone, I just get talked at by a machine. From the little digging I did I found a couple of others with the same problem in 2018 who suggested that tethering isn't supported on Vodafone payg anymore. Does tethering work for anyone on this thread? Without it I'll be going back to bill pay or just leaving Vodafone shortly.

I was able to tether my phone to my car during the week without any issue.

PAYG tethering works but you have to use the standard live.vodafone.com APN. It sounds like your phone may be set up to use the hs.voafone.ie APN for tethering, which costs 19c/MB and doesn't use any data allowance you may have (except mobile broadband allowances).

You need to delete this APN from your phone and see if it works then. Unfortunately, some phones won't allow you to delete it though and in that case you're stuck.

My iPhone works fine as a hotspot on this

What phone? Newer Android phones have locked APNs and you need to modify it to allow deletion of the HS APN which does not take data from your allowance but bills you instead.

Thanks gene and others for your replies

I checked those Vodafone pages you guys linked to and every country under the sun is listed but not the canaries or lanzarote from what I can see.

Oh by the way omega gene, I used your monese referral code when signing up for monese so keep an eye in your monese account for a free €15

Just waiting on the card to arrive
