Hi all I topped up on day 29 and lost my Spotify premium account. How do I reactivate premium please

While on mobile data go to offers.vodafone.com/ie , then select Spotify subscription again.

I've never used Spotify before, it's brilliant. It works very well on PS4 as well , didn't realise you can playback Spotify as you play games .

Doubt it will, when initially connecting to the app you have to use mobile data of the registered phone.I assume for authentication.

Visit the page and enter the following in the address bar:

javascript:$.cookie("age-gate",!0,{expires:7});location.reload();

Ensure that after you pasted this text in your address bar that it starts with "javascript:", some browsers strip it out... Finally hit return or go and the page will reload then prompt you to enter your Vodafone number. Simples.

Cheers guys. Much better deal than my previous provider. Ordered a sim last Froday and scheduled to have my number ported over today. All up and running with Vodafone X Weekend now!

If anyone is having problems with this plan, it's because it's a new deal and they're working out some technical details. I've personally had to change my twice now.

Also, if anyone isn't getting 4g, get onto them on live chat and they'll sort you out.

If that did work, they must've noticed their flaw and amended it.
Tried with both Opera and Chrome.

Is this still working for the (ahem) overs 25s and if so do I just switch first and then set up the Facebook page???

Still working. Set up the Facebook beforehand and click the link to sign up. If you get as far as it asking for your phone number you're good to go. Otherwise you'll either have to try set up a other Facebook or find a student to sign you up.

DANNY2014 · 28-04-2017 10:10pm

It's saying your not a Vodafone customer that's not a problem bring in your I'd to store...

DANNY2014 · 28-04-2017 10:12pm

Was thinking of porting to VF anyway this weekend this deal would make it sweeter... If I head into the shop and buy a SIM will I be asked age???

No, but you'll probably be forced to buy credit with it in store and then again to activate Vodafone X.

Senna · 29-04-2017 11:38am

I had issues with the 4g and sound quality, got onto live chat customer support, not sure what they done but after a reboot, speed went from barely 4mb to 40mb down and call quality is better now.
Happy Days

My son is a 19yr old student. I pay all his college fees lodging etc etc. He's not interested in the VF deal, surely I'm entitled to get it in his name?

You sure could ask him to sign up for you. May just be easier to use the workaround though and have it in your name. I'm just thinking about when they port in your number from another network for your son it wouldn't be in his name so that may be an issue.

That won't be an issue. Ported over with a different name without issue.

Any idea what the European data roaming allowance will be on this plan after June 15th?

Zero I'd say. As it's a "service"

The could limit free roaming to twice what 20 euros minus tax would buy at the wholesale data roaming rate though (7.7 euros per GB).

That would be roughly 4GB for each 28 days period if I am not mistaken.

Also I am not holding my breath but I'm curious to know whether they will include some non EU/EEA European countries (they legally don't have to, but are covering 32 countries with free roaming for their recently introduced postpaid plans).

biebiebie · 17-05-2017 12:32pm

Good news on the EU data roaming from Vodafone.

Am I correct in saying that if I switch to Vodafone standard PAYG I can then join up to Vodafone X plan online with the link in the OP? Or do you need to go in store.

I'm not a student anymore but pass the age gate, but i'm currently not with Vodafone.

I got a SIM in store 2 weeks back came home and switched... The missus changed on Monday just gone... got the SIM online last Wednesday (delivered Friday) both with the link in the op with Facebook... (Neither students or under 25)

Did they make you topup when you got a sim in store?

Nope got my credit elsewhere... Done the signup to Vodafone x first then topped up... All was done for me in 20 minutes..

I was in Italy from April 11-18 on Vodafone X plan. I used my data all the time. I got a text message from Vodafone that I spent €30.89 on data roaming. But no money was taken from my credit.

Just after getting this too. So looks like we can use all our data while abroad

Spotify is half price for students (5 euro) Keep that in mind when considering the value of the Music package.

Has anyone had any issues with this deal? Or issues signing up if youre not a student?

It has worked flawlessly for me (aside from an initial hiccup whereby my number was ported a day before I actually received the Vodafone simcard).

Only issue I've had so far is that after I topped up and the offer reactivated for month 2, my spoify premium didn't automatically and I had to relink vodafone with my spotify in order for it to be premium again. I topped up a day before my offer was to expire (got a text reminder) so it's not like there was a period between the offer expiring and me topping up.

All good anyway after I relinked them and got premium back!

You need to go to offers.vodafone.ie each month when your plan renews to activate the Spotify sub again.

Ah okay, that makes sense! I had done that to reactivate it this month but I didn't know that you had to do it each month. Thanks

In fairness that's not a great implementation.

My brother used to have a free Deezer subscription as part of his mobile plan with Orange in France, and after linking the account onces it would all happen automatically (i.e. the free Deezer subscription would remain without having to do anything manually every month as long as the Orange plan remained active).

darragh o meara · 22-05-2017 9:20pm

Anyone here popped their sim card into a 4G wifi modem? Did it work?

Also if I sign up, will I have free roaming in Europe with this? I've read that Vodafone may not allow you to have all the data while roaming. Heading to France in a few weeks and would like to use the 20gb data allowance over there

They have confirmed very clearly that the whole data allowance will be useable at no extra charge from any EU/EEA country and Switzerland starting from the 15th of June. See: http://www.boards.ie/ttfthread/2057738735

AS1890 · 22-06-2017 9:30am

Sorry for bringing this thread back up. Just need some advice. I'm with iD mobile at the minute. I do not qualify for Vodafone X. I spoke to Vodafone chat support they say I need to get the Vodafone SIM card first. Port over once done then sign up via Facebook or in store. But I am cautious about porting over if the sign up via Facebook won't work. Can someone advise?

If I sign up through Facebook first and I'm accepted do Vodafone send me a SIM card or what happens?

Thanks in advance.

AS 1890 - my son moved from Lycamobile. For some reason he had his age profile as older on Facebook so they rejected his first request to move over to the deal. He changed the date to his correct age and it was accepted straight away. No delay, two minure job. The call quality is far superior and the 4g very fast. I think it's a great deal. I have 3 children on it and they love having plenty of data. Kilsmum

Thanks for that. When the moved over how did they get their SIM card? Was one sent out to them or did they need to move their number over first and then activate the plan?

They moved first then activated the plan. My older two, college students did both steps in the Vodafone shop and a copy was taken of their student cards. My youngest was in school so l got the sim then he went to the shop with the sim they switched him over and we did the rest online through Facebook. Kilsmum
