Vodafone X - €20 Prepay Offers

Ten Pin · 26-07-2018 1:26pm

Free 2nd month if switching & topping up before 31st July, doesn't say if this is for porting only or for existing customers too.

Switch to Vodafone X today and get one month free

Switch online today and your new SIM card will be delivered to you in the next few days. Pick your favourite Vodafone X plan by free-texting MUSIC, WEEKEND or SPORT to 50222, and top up by €20 in one go before 31st July 2018. We'll text you a one month top up voucher next month… for free!

Other terms to consider...

3. Offer is available until the 30 September 2018

Assume that means available to opt in to rather than it ending.

And this old chestnut...

15. The 20GB data allowance can be used to access the internet via the below Access Point Networks only: wap.vodafone.ie & live.vodafone.com. Tethering over the HS APN or any other use of the HS APN will incur OOB charges.

If you only ever top up by 20, then you're balance will be zero and you can't be charged but tethering might not work (as discussed in the last few posts).

...explaining steps that may resolve the tethering issue. It's straightforward but you'd need to know what you're doing.

I think has changed in 8.1 and is now carrier locked.

Could you put the SIM card from your phone into a compatible router and use the unlimited data at the weekend?

Depends on what APN is used. "live.vodafone.com" should be OK but "hs.vodafone.ie" will not work.

I signed up for this a few weeks ago through the My Vodafone app, no need for ID (I'm 29) I was already on a standard prepay option and simply changed over to vodafone X ( the one with free spotify) by texting MUSIC to 50222. No verification process or anything. It does use all the €20 top up straight away.

It’s not a student exclusive deal anymore so it’s open to anyone even if you’re on Vodafone already so no ID would be needed

Just signed up for Spotify

Thanks for sharing

sheroman01 · 14-11-2018 3:32pm

Some questions on this, if someone could kindly answer:

If I got this offer for my spare phone, to use as hotspot, can I use that Spotify account on my original phone?

What happens to my Spotify account if I didn't top up for one month or topped up late?

Lastly, is there a way to set up direct debit to pay, or what's the most seamless way to top up?

OmegaGene · 14-11-2018 3:51pm

You can use Spotify where ever you want
If you top up late the deal will kick in again whenever you top up
Top up using the app

ooter · 14-11-2018 4:16pm

If you sign up to the sport or music options can you use the data, minutes and text allowances any time or just at weekends?

Anytime
The weekend thing only comes into play if you select weekend unlimited plan

Thanks a mill! I'm just wondering, if I pay late, does my Spotify revert to being the basic pack if I dont pay. Or what would happen to my downloaded songs.

Yep, your account reverts back to the basic account and all benefits associated with the premium account (i.e. downloaded songs, ability to skip songs, no-ads) are lost.

When you top-up again by 20euro after a break, you re-activate the plan. Vodafone send you a text with a link to log into Spotify and you can avail of all the benefits of spotify premium once more (i.e. downloaded songs, no-ads, etc.)

Essentially: If you top-up by 20 euro every 28 days, you don't keep having to log back into spotify - your premium plan continues as usual. If you break the cycle by a few days/weeks/months and then top up by 20 euro, you reactivate the plan Vodafone send you a text with a link to log into Spotify.

Just switched over from smart extra to this ,it's a no brainer. Spotify premium isn't activated yet as i have a pre existing premium account i had to cancel so waiting for vodafone to call me back on that.

Why do you need to talk to them about Spotify? Just cancel the sub on your existing account and then sign back into it via offers.vodafone.com/ie (on mobile data,not WiFi)

That happened me so you just have to wait for your current subscription to end and then on that day sign up to it and it will work

CianFarrell · 16-11-2018 3:30pm

You can setup and auto top up feature on vodafone.ie as well and set it to top up every 28 days by €20 so you never come out of the plan.

Can you do this on the app ? Very handy feature.

CianFarrell · 16-11-2018 3:43pm

Havent seen it on the app at first glance - its on the site once you login under Top Up "Scheduled Top Ups"

I'm currently on spotify premium, on my iphone, paying 10 euro a month, not on this deal. Lots of songs downloaded etc. I've just bought a new sim today and it's on another phone, android phone. I've got the spotify link on my android phone. How should I proceed to cancel the premium on my iphone and then use the vodafone deal on it and keep all my songs? anyone else have a similiar setup?

It's in top-up, then its automatic top up.

sheroman01 · 18-12-2018 10:20pm

I signed up on the 20th of November. I topped up online by €20 today online (quick to-up option) but no confirmation text on my phone. Any reason for that? Perhaps the 28 days are up tomorrow?

EDIT: Checked my vodafone account online and says I'm in the bundle until 15th January which means I'm all good. Strange that I never received a confirmation text. Maybe it'll come later. Also, is there a message to say that my 29 days are nearly up?

yabadabado · 18-12-2018 10:37pm

You get a message 3 days before your bundle expires.

No

To be clear, Vodafone might not enforce it but as per the T&Cs of the offer it definitly is a requirement to be a student or under 25:

“This Offer has been specifically created for students/under 25s with a valid student card or ID. For age verification purposes you will be asked to provide valid proof of age as Vodafone may require. Student offers are standard practice and are regularly seen across many businesses e.g. student travel cards, retail and cinema discounts.”

sheroman01 · 17-01-2019 12:17pm

I've just been using this deal for hotspot and spotify. Topped up two months all fine. Tried topping up this month but cannot as vodafone tell me my account has been inactivated. Anyone else have this problem?

hearsay · 17-01-2019 1:57pm

Just out of the shop, I'm in the park while writing, customer staff said it's only available to students and it's super strict..

I usually found this store very helpful in the past with everything

Maybe Vodafone's have tightened the rules

No need to go on the talk to forum just walk into the Vodafone shop and ask for the SIM card for the Vodafone x plan, it’s painless and very straight forward

OmegaGene · 17-01-2019 3:28pm

Or even use this link to opt in if you are already on Vodafone

Yeah basically you have to lie about your birthdate, be ok with your conscience, and hope they don’t check. But the terms are clear in saying it is for students and under 25s so as soon as you volunteer your real age I don’t think any staff will do it for you (i.e. the birth date listed on your account might be a problem in the shop and get the staff to push back as well).
