Online billing

What is online billing?

As part of our ongoing efforts to help sustain the planet, Vodafone are no longer printing paper bills and moving you to online billing. This means that, instead of receiving your bill by post, you will be able to view and manage your bill online on My Vodafone.
{{feedbackMessage}}

How do I access online billing?

You can view your account online, by simply registering or logging into My Vodafone using your Key Account Contact mobile number.
{{feedbackMessage}}

I would like to receive my bill via email – is this possible?

If you have only one mobile number on your account, you can receive your bill via email. To receive your bill directly to your mailbox, log into My Vodafone, go to Account, and in Billing Details update invoice format to "email".


If you have more than one number on your account, you can view bills for these numbers by logging into My Vodafone

{{feedbackMessage}}

What is included when I roam on a RED Business Unlimited plan?

For more information on roaming in Europe and outside Europe, click here.

{{feedbackMessage}}

What is mobile speed?

No matter what Business Unlimited plan you choose, you’ll have unlimited data to use in Ireland and Europe. Our plans come with different maximum mobile data speeds, to match how you use your data. 

Speed refers to how fast your mobile data connection is. We measure it in Mbps (megabits per second) – the higher the Mbps, the faster the speed of your data connection on your device. 

Not everyone uses their phone in the same way. Our Business Unlimited plans are built to match how you use yours. For more information on speeds and how we recommend using each Business plan for data click here.

One Net Express

What happens if the mobile network goes down?

In the event of disruption to the mobile network, services to both desk and mobile phones will be affected.

If you need back-up or contingency service we can provide a Sure Signal device, which works off an existing DSL line. Alternatively you can advise us to keep an existing PSTN line as back-up. Call divert can then be applied to mitigate the extent of any disruption for the duration of the outage

One Net Express terms & conditions.

{{feedbackMessage}}

Is One Net Express secure?

Yes. Vodafone applies the same security policies to the Vodafone One Net Express solution as it does to its mobile phone network.
{{feedbackMessage}}

How is my data protected?

All desk phones using One Net Express use rigorous encryption algorithms to protect our clients' information.
{{feedbackMessage}}

How am I billed for One Net Express?

A bill is issued on the 14th of every month with Vodafone One Net Express.
{{feedbackMessage}}

If we don't answer a customer's call will they still be charged?

Yes they will. When customers call your One Net Express landline number a message will be played advising them “Please hold the line while we transfer your call”. As with a normal PABX, once the message is played it is deemed a connection. In order to maximise your company's chances of answering all your customer calls, we advise you to have a hunt group set up. You also have the ability to tailor the recorded message to your own requirements.

{{feedbackMessage}}

How do I use my phone as a wireless hotspot?

Check out our interactive device guides for step-by-step instructions for your phone. Once you have chosen your phone, look under "Customise", then "Connecting phone and computer".
{{feedbackMessage}}

How can I spot a phishing scam?

Phishing isn't always easy to identify. Look out for things like:

  • Unexpected text/email – try to think if there's a good reason for this business to be contacting you
  • Too good to be true - Check if the text/email says you’ve won an amazing prize without having entered the competition
  • Poor spelling – those committing scams often have weak English language skills
  • The URL/web address of any links – check that it's genuine, isn't unusually long and doesn't include special characters or letters substituted by numbers
  • Requests to act fast – you'll often be urged to take action immediately, otherwise your account will be suspended

You should always avoid any request that sounds vague, unlikely, or too casual, for example: 'our database has been corrupted, please re-send your details.'

Get more details on Vodafone security.

{{feedbackMessage}}

What should I do about SMiShing or phishing scams?

The first thing to do is - nothing


Fraudulent text message

  • Delete the message
  • Don't phone the number – you could be charged a lot of money
  • Don't click on the link – it could infect your device with a virus

Fraudulent email

Do not reply to the email. Don't click on the link. And definitely do not enter or submit any of your personal details.

{{feedbackMessage}}

Are there any tips to keep my mobile phone secure?

Mobile security

With easy access to emails on your smartphone, and things like mobile banking apps, it's more important than ever to know how to keep data on your mobile secure.

  • Set up a password – and keep your phone locked when you're not using it
  • Never store personal details like passwords or PIN numbers in texts or emails
  • If your phone's stolen, tell us straight away – we can blacklist and deactivate it remotely. You should then change any passwords for online accounts you access through your phone as soon as possible (e.g. your online banking password)
  • Never allow application or files to be installed from unknown sources (e.g. for Android apps outside of Android Market)
  • If you go on a mobile website and the URL looks suspicious, close it straight away
  • If you sell your phone or give it away, make sure you complete a factory reset to remove all your personal data from it – you'll find out how in your phone's user guide

Vodafone security

It's really important that you set up a PIN for your voicemail inbox, so only you can access it – and never share it with anyone. If you're going to use your phone abroad you should:

  • Set up a voicemail PIN code before you go
  • If you don't have one set up, the first time you try to access your messages, we'll automatically send one to your mobile

Cost and billing

How much does it cost to use my phone abroad?

First you need to know where you are going and then you can check the costs.

For more information on roaming in Europe and outside Europe, click here.

{{feedbackMessage}}

Will data roaming spend be included in my spend cap?

Yes, all of your data roaming spend is included in your spend cap.

For example; if you are on a data roaming price plan the rental for this plan, along with any spend you accumulate should you use outside your bundle, is all included in the spend accumulated towards the cap. This means that, when we send you a spend notification, the amount represents your total spend on data roaming to date in that monthly billing period. This means there should be no surprises on your bill at the end of the month.

For more information on roaming in Europe and outside Europe, click here.

{{feedbackMessage}}

What if I'm already on an offer with roaming in Europe at no extra cost like RED Business?

You can continue to use your plan in Europe just like you would at home, with access to unlimited calls and texts back to Ireland and within the country you’re visiting, as well as your home data and international allowance in 32 European destinations.

It's also free to receive calls and texts from home when you are travelling in Europe, helping you stay connected with friends and family.

Plus, you get access to our best value roaming rates when you travel outside of Europe, at €2.43 a day in USA or Canada and €4.06 a day in Rest of the World destinations.

Using data abroad

Can I use my phone at sea and in flight?

  • Sending a text costs 70c and receiving a text is free.
  • Mobile internet and mobile broadband costs €0.02 per MB when roaming while travelling by sea.
  • Mobile internet and mobile broadband costs €0.25 per MB when roaming while travelling by air.

All pricing is quoted including VAT.

For more information on roaming in Europe and outside Europe, click here.

{{feedbackMessage}}

What are data roaming spend caps?

We have introduced spend caps and spend notifications for data roaming so it's easier for you to control costs when you access email or the internet from abroad.

For bill customers there are two monthly spend caps. The standard spend cap is €50 (ex. VAT). There is also a roaming upper spend cap. The €50 (ex. VAT) spend cap equates to about 10MB of data usage, enough to view about 200 emails or 80 web pages.

Find out more about data spend caps.

For more information on roaming in Europe and outside Europe, click here.

{{feedbackMessage}}

How do data spend caps work?

When you use data abroad, you will now receive a text message - well before you reach your monthly spend cap - telling you how much you've spent on data roaming so far in the month. When you reach the spend cap, you will receive another text notifying you of this.

The text message will be sent to your mobile phone inbox, or to the SMS inbox on your mobile broadband dashboard or tablet device.

For more information on roaming in Europe and outside Europe, click here.

{{feedbackMessage}}

How do I receive spend cap notifications?

Roaming spend cap notifications will be sent by text message to your phone, tablet or Mobile Broadband device.

Mobile Broadband customers will need to check the SMS inbox that was installed with your Vodafone software to view the notification.

For more information on roaming in Europe and outside Europe, click here.

{{feedbackMessage}}

How much can I spend before data roaming spend caps are applied?

For bill pay customers there are two monthly spend caps. The standard spend cap is €50 (ex. VAT) and equates to about 10MB of data usage, enough to view about 200 emails or 80 web pages. There is also a roaming upper spend cap.

Initially you will receive the €50 (ex. VAT) spend cap notification and if you continue to use past this spend cap you'll then receive the upper spend cap message. This spend cap will apply to your billing period if you are a bill pay customer.

For more information on roaming in Europe and outside Europe, click here.

{{feedbackMessage}}

What happens when I reach my data spend cap?

When you reach the spend cap, you will be barred from roaming, unless you have already chosen to extend past the cap. You can choose to extend past the cap at any time and instructions will be included in your notification messages.

If you choose not to extend past the cap you will remain barred for the remainder of the billing period.

For more information on roaming in Europe and outside Europe, click here.

{{feedbackMessage}}

Will data spend caps be applied outside of the EU?

Yes. We have implemented the spend caps and notifications across the board for simplicity and to give you a consistent user experience. So, regardless of where you travel outside of the Republic of Ireland the relevant spend cap will be applied to your account for data roaming usage.

For more information on roaming in Europe and outside Europe, click here.

{{feedbackMessage}}

Can I use my phone if I'm barred from data roaming?

Yes you can. You can still use your phone to make and receive calls and to send and receive text messages. And if you are using a modem you will still be able to send and receive text messages.

eSIM

What is an eSIM?

An eSIM is an industry-standard digital SIM that is already installed on certain smartphones. It allows you to activate a mobile plan from your network provider without having to use a physical SIM.
{{feedbackMessage}}

What are the benefits of an eSIM?

Here are some of the reasons to use an eSIM:

  • Convenience: Because there is no physical SIM card, you can easily activate your eSIM at any time through My Vodafone.
  • Space-saving: Some phone designs can be more compact or allocate space for other components because there's no need for a SIM card slot.
  • Multiple profiles: eSIM technology allows you to store multiple profiles on your mobile, meaning you can store multiple plans and phone numbers.
  • Flexibility: With eSIM, you can switch mobile network or plans without needing and having to wait for a physical SIM card.
{{feedbackMessage}}

How do I check if my phone works with eSIM?

Our device guides will be able to help you find what phones are compatible with eSIM. You can also check your device manual or manufacturer website to see if your phone works with eSIM.
{{feedbackMessage}}

How do I activate and set up eSIM?

First you need to check four things:

  • You must have your eSIM compatible phone available and an eSIM profile ordered on your Vodafone account.
  • If you need to order an eSIM profile you can do this through the Chat button on this page.
  • Have an active Wi-Fi connection on your phone.
  • Find out how to activate your eSIM on your specific phone by following our device guides.

  • Enter confirmation code when prompted.
  • Once the eSIM profile is successfully enabled, return to ‘My SIM’ on My Vodafone and click ‘Activate eSIM’.

Existing Vodafone customers/swap to eSIM:

You will need to request a SIM swap through Chat on this page. SIM swap typically takes 15 minutes to setup.

Once this is complete:

  • You will then see a QR code and confirmation code on the screen.
  • Go to device settings on your eSIM capable device and scan the eSIM QR code using your phone’s camera.

  • Once the eSIM profile is successfully enabled, return to ‘My SIM’ on My Vodafone and click ‘Activate eSIM’.
{{feedbackMessage}}

I don’t have access to my QR code – how can I activate my eSIM?

If you are unable to access My Vodafone to scan your QR code, you will need to manually input your eSIM activation and confirmation codes into your phone.

  • These codes can be retrieved either with the help of our advisors in our retail stores or via our Chat button on this page.
  • Once you have your codes, our device guides will take you through the activation process.
{{feedbackMessage}}

How do I set up eSIM on my dual SIM phone?

Can I move to eSIM if I do not have a SIM card?

If you are not already with Vodafone, you will need to get a new number with us or switch your current number to Vodafone.

If you are with Vodafone on a Business plan, you will need to swap your current physical SIM card to an eSIM. This can be done on My Vodafone.

Here are the steps to get an eSIM:

  • Order a SIM swap through the Chat button on this page.
  • Wait 15 minutes once this is complete and then go back to the eSIM process on My Vodafone.
  • You will see a QR code and confirmation code on the screen.
  • Go to device settings on your eSIM capable device and scan the eSIM QR code using your phone’s camera.
  • Enter confirmation code when prompted.
  • Once the eSIM profile is successfully enabled, return to ‘My SIM’ on My Vodafone and click ‘Activate eSIM’.

Why is 3G being upgraded?

When will 3G be upgraded?

We will be saying goodbye to 3G on a phased basis from February 2023 onwards.
