How does Vodafone Pay As You Go work?
How your pay as you go plan works:
Example – Data Unlimited 5G:
- Opt into Data Unlimited 5Ga by choosing the Data Unlimited 5G plan when ordering your Free SIM on Vodafone.ie or in any of our retail stores. You can change your tariff every 28 days
- After you opt in to your chosen tariff then top up by the cost of the plan in full in one go to activate your top up offer. For Data Unlimited 5G this amount is €20
- The €20.00 will be taken from your balance, this will activate your data, text and voice allowances for 28 days. Your balance will be €0.00, unless you topped up by more than €20.00
Now you can start using your pay as you go plan. Log in to Vodafone.ie where you can top up and track your usage.
Important top up tips:
- If you top up by the full amount to activate your plan in the middle of your top up cycle, i.e. during your 28 days, your top up offer will reactivate, and your allowances will reset
- If you want to add additional credit to your account in the middle of your top up cycle, you can top up in increments of €5, €10 or €15
How often do I need to reactivate my top up offer?
I just topped up - why do I have no credit?
When you top up €20 or more, you will trigger what is known as a Top up offer, the cost of your Top up offer will not appear on your credit balance as you will immediately benefit from unlimited data or unlimited calls & texts to any network for 28 days.
