    Went into vodafone shop. Ported over to payg SIM from TM in 3 minutes. Set up Facebook and email account. Went to register for vodafone x. Told to download voucher and go into the shop. Tried again and same thing happened. That was 2 days ago. Went on vodafone chat this morning to see if they could sort it. Said I had to do it via Facebook or go into store. When I went to try Facebook route again it worked! Not sure why this time. So my advice is if you are asked to go into the store then try vodafone chat 1st

    Why did they not just sign you up in store in the first place?

    Guessing because they weren't a student or aged 18-25!

    Right so just switched plans to vodafone x sport for the start of the new season.

    I'm on a vodafone smart ultra 6 phone, not sure if it's supported. Anyway got the plan and the offer shows as enabled on the vodafone site. I downloaded the app from the link provided on the offers page that was sent in a text from vodafone.

    On downloading the app and attempting to open any stream I choose "i scusribe to mobile tv with vodafone". However at this point I simply get a Skyid login screen, but i don't have any skyid. I thought it should auto register and i had wifi turned off so was definately on the vodafone network directly at the time.

    I think I set up a new sky id. It wasn't very clear what to do when setting up a new ID though. Chat on the Vodafone app were very helpful

    Anyone know if you don't top this up for a couple of months do you need to then reapply or will the plan simply reactivate once you put €20 on it? Might get it for a 2nd phone when travelling.

    No need to top up every month. It will kick in again once you put 20 in, so you can keep a small amount of credit in your account. I'm keeping the 5 top up for 1gb data as I don't need 20gb every month except when I'm away.

    The answer to this in the end was just to register a SkyID and it worked straight away. To register a SkyID you can just use any username and password. The validation is done automatically via the phone network.

    You'll be able to use it as if you were in Ireland (and to call Czech numbers for the same price as Irish Ines).

    But I would talk to Vodafone and double check how long they allow it. If you keep using your phone in another country and never on your home country, the home network is after a while legally allowed to charge you unregulated roaming fees (and maybe to disconnect you but not sure on that point).

    I would say nothing and see how long you can get away with it.

    As per bromley 52, say nothing. In addition, make sure you've little or no credit available outside your top up so that if they do start taking it, there's very little available. Can't take knickers off a bare a*se, as they say :pac:

    Hi guys, sorry for bumping an old thread but I signed up to the Vodafone X Sky Sports deal earlier today. No issues signing up but when I downloaded the Sky Sports mobile app I can only access Action, Arena, SSN, Sky Newsand is it Sky Sports News HQ?

    The one with the Premier League Lion icon on it. Asked via support chat and they said the ones like Football/Cricket etc are extra. I'm sure that's the case and I might be a fool for asking but I wanted to be sure checking with people here.

    I guess if I couldn't access the Premier League games I wouldn't bother with it and maybe switch to Spotify.

    Any feedback would be appreciated.

    Hi guys,

    Just a heads up the 2 months free offer has been extended to the 4th of September. Only applies to people porting number into Vodafone and wanting to sign up for Vodafone X.

    Just download the voucher by going to the below link and selecting "Not on Vodafone? - Continue here". Then bring it in store with valid ID.

    I will be moving to Vodafone and this offer when my current 28 day deal ends with 3 this week.

    Couple of questions for anyone that has joined vodafone.
    1. I have a valid student card and got an unlock code for my phone from 3.
    -if I go into a vodafone store will they be able to port me over more or less right away (don't mind waiting a few hours for the porting)

    2. I'll be choosing the X weekend option.(100 free any network minutes/free weekends)
    Is there a way to check your remaining minutes, and how many days you have left on the offer each month?

    Cheers, just wanted to make sure before I made the switch, got burned by 3 many times, charging me for out of bundle data use without warning me that my deal was ended.

    I know where you are coming from - I had credit burnt with Three a few times as they don't allow automatic top-ups on the same schedule as their AYCE offer and their warning text messages only arrive when the damage is done already.

    I have now switched to Vodafone and find them much better from that perspective:
    1) They tend to be better with warning you before a timed offer is about to expire or an allowance to be exceeded
    2) They allow you to schedule automatic top-ups every 28 days (which matches the recurring schedule of the Vodafone X deal) so if you do that there is no issue with forgetting to top-up on the right day and getting your credit eaten-up because your deal has expired

    I am not sure about using on the play store, but to clear some possible confusion: unlike Three's AYCE offer Vodafone X will consume your 20 euros credit when the offer is activated. This means unless you voluntarily top-up more credit than you need, you are not likely to end-up with a lot of unused credit as you likely are with Three.
