Vodafone review
Vodafone now shares a combined network with Three after their 2025 merger, and sells plans from basic SIMs to roaming-heavy bundles.
Vodafone adds £2.50 a month every April (contracts from 12 November 2025); SIM Only Basics rises by £1.50 and device payments stay fixed. Roaming in countries such as Poland costs £2.75 a day from 14 April 2026 unless you are on Unlimited Max Euro Roam. Lebara, VOXI, Talkmobile and Asda Mobile use Vodafone’s masts.
