Vodafone X - €20 Prepay Offers

RoYoBo · 07-10-2019 9:48pm

Can't open Offers or Add ons here either. As already mentioned, Webtext has become almost unusable with the new Captcha and no Contacts. The new app is terrible and will likely drive me elsewhere if a fix isn't made soon.

Is the Webtext within the Vodafone app working for you?
That imports your Contacts.

No captcha appears for me via the app.

Have you been migrated to the new system? The issues being complained about only apply to those who are on the new system.

If you're on the new system, webtext on the app will not pull numbers from your contacts and also requires you to pass one of those very annoying recaptchas.

Uh oh. I must be still on old version.
It says I am on version 5.3

It seems to be a new system rather than the app itself - I can't find the app version I have. I was migrated to the new system without a choice a few weeks back IIRC.

Another example of 'improving' things and making them worse ...

I topped up by 20 on Sunday and still have Spotify premium, even though I got the text about the X music plan going up to 25e from 28th September.

Have they debited your credit €5 that was my understanding of what would happen.

shanec1928 · 08-10-2019 12:25pm

Those re the new Spotify sub if you look in the app click on the Vodafone music plan on the main screen and it says for me any way that I have 6 months free then 5er after

Correct. As long as you have at least €5 credit balance, you only have to top up by €20. The €5 for Spotify will be deduced from your existing credit.

Sorry but can’t find this posted anywhere recently so wanted to check with people in the know. Is there a current way to get Vodafone X if you’re not a student or under the age of 25?

It would almost certainly be illegal for them to refuse the product on age grounds under anti-discrimination legislation, if anyone fancies taking them on.

09-10-2019 5:26pm

Just a quick question on this, I'm new to pay as you go so forgive me if it sounds stupid::o

When I top up by 20 euro and then use up my 100 minutes call allowance, do I need to top up further to make calls or is the 20 euro now being used to pay for those calls above the allowance?

Thanks in advance for any help.

The €20 is used for the bundle. You would need to top up again or buy an add on.

Kalyke · 09-10-2019 7:38pm

They blocked me from using the SIM in a dongle recently.The only way I could use the dongle was to come off the Weekend X plan. Not happy.

EnzoScifo · 16-10-2019 11:13pm

The gomo deal of 9.99 per month for calls, text and 80gb data + getting your own spotify premium account is looking like a better deal.

CoBo55 · 16-10-2019 11:20pm

My verification text from the credit union still hasn't arrived, very annoying. If this keeps up I'll have to change provider, only topped up on Sunday:mad::mad:
Is everyone else still having this problem? Mine is a 087 number.

Yeah this has been going on for about 2 weeks now.

Grumpypants · 17-10-2019 8:17am

Gomo have a 9.99 offer now. Im reluctant to move as i get a tenner credit back each month that i spend on disney life but for others that dont get the tenner it might back.it might be better value.

Gomo can go whistle, Ive tried numerous networks over the years and Vodafone are the best for coverage and customer care

Thinking that myself too.. When it was meteor it was dreadful, maybe Eir gave it a boost but there's nothing as bad as having no coverage.

corcaigh07 · 17-10-2019 9:53am

No harm trying GoMo and if it turns out to be terrible, back to Vodafone X for 20 a month and another 6 months free Spotify.

away you go then, eir coverage isn't as good as vodafone and spotify family works out well for me on this plan and nobody knows if it will be available in a few months

Can't argue with that, I'm very reluctant to go back to Eir no matter what the price. But if people can't get TFA codes to log into banking and the such then it might be worth moving to eir at that price. Especially if Spotify offer is rising to €25.

Customer care? I'm still waiting for my text code. My daughter changed phones and can't activate her Ulster Bank app as she never received the text code either.

I'm sure this has been answered before, but for the Weekend X offer, is there unlimited data on the weekends while EU roaming too? And if so, is the start and end of the weekend defined by the Irish time or the EU country you're in?

Thanks!

As far as I know, it is included. And in any case the start and end time will definitely be based on Irish time.

I can confirm that the weekend data is unlimited while roaming (Spain). Not sure what time applies as I never checked, but I'd guess it's Irish time.

it's automatic once you're opted in to the offer:

Once your inclusive subscription has expired your service will continue automatically at €5 per month, deducted from your credit. If you don’t want to continue after your free period, you can opt-out from auto rollover any time, by clicking the below button.

Please note that in order to avail of the discounted €5 Spotify Premium add on, you will need to top up €20 per month to renew your Vodafone X Music plan, and have an additional €5 balance which will be deducted for the add on.

Grumpypants · 23-10-2019 8:21pm

It's basically €25 for spotify now. So I bit the GoMo bullet, €9.99 and I can buy Spotify and it works out cheaper. Moving our two phones over. No issues with Vodafone but hard to argue with gomo value.

I’ve had meteor which is now go-mo rebranded and eir and they both sucked for signal in my surrounding area
Spotify family is only €30 a year btw

Bob24 · 23-10-2019 9:40pm

GoMo is agreat deal, but there is no question Vodafone has a better network (it is the only one giving me flawless video streaming in Dublin City Center at peak time); and I suspect with that generous data allowance the data speeds on Eir will drop even more due to the increased network load.

I had a VF business mobile for 12 years and it was then switched 8 yrs ago to Eir. I work Nationwide including Dublin and I've never noticed any difference between the two networks.

I work in Dublin City Center and for my own reasons I’m currently getting my data service through a foreign eSIM which lets me roam freely on any Irish network I like, so I can easily compare the 3 of them doing the exact same thing with the exact same phone at the exact same location and within a few seconds ... Pretty consistently Three is clearly the worst, Eir is in the middle and Vodafone clearly the best. Not saying Eir is crap, but the network is clearly under heavier load and unable to handle the most demanding applications at the most busy times and locations (whereas Vodafone does cope).

Of course it might not affect you depending on what you do with the phone, and it doesn’t mean that there aren’t specific circumstances whereby Vodafone doesn’t win, but that is the very clear trend I am observing.

Snotty · 24-10-2019 12:18am

I just signed up to eir broadband not long ago and they have a simailr offer, €10 mobile bundle, all calls, texts and data, but I stayed with Vodafone, based on 2 areas where I would be most often needing data but not having WiFi, both areas have full signal with Vodafone and no Internet on eir. My wife's on eir business so can easily compare.
