2. Register your details on My Vodafone within 60 days of using your new SIM.
3. Top up by €20 or more in one go

Most people "top up" to reactivate their top-up offer. If you're on a €20 offer, adding €20 will reactivate your offer, even if you do it before the offer has expired.

If you want to reactivate your offer, wait until your existing offer has expired.

Sometimes you may want to add extra credit to your offer e.g. If you are planning to travel you may want to have extra credit for roaming changes.

If you want to add credit and NOT reactivate your top-up offer, please make sure to top up by either €5, €10 or €15.

Bank top up
A bank top up can take some time to complete.  If your new offer does not reactivate (if you're reactivating an offer), or the credit is not added (if you're adding credit), please connect with our customer care team by clicking on Live Chat, on the bottom right-hand side of this screen.

Vouchers
If you are having issues with your top-up voucher, ensure you have entered the 13-digit number correctly. If you are still having issues, then you should request a new code from a retail store or customer care agent. Or, connect with our customer care team by clicking on TOBi, our virtual assistant, on the bottom right-hand side of this screen..

To keep your pay as you go plan active you need to top up every 28 days.

If you do not top up after 28 days, you will only be able to make calls and use data if you have a credit balance on your account. If you don’t top up for 6 months your number will become inactive and no longer be able to make calls. If you do not top up for a further 2 months (8 months altogether) your number will be disconnected.

To prevent your number from becoming inactive you will need to top up with a minimum of €5.00. This will reactivate any exiting balance you have on your plan.

If you have not topped up your credit in 6 months or more, you need to take action to prevent your pay as you go mobile number from being disconnected due to inactivity.

You may have received texts or an email from Vodafone indicating that you need to top up. Your account may also have been marked as inactive within My Vodafone. If so, the below information will tell you what to do.

• 6 months after the last top up – you should receive a text advising that you'd need to top up within 7 days to keep your number active
• 6 months and 7 days after last top up - outgoing calls and texts will be deactivated, incoming services stay active
• 8 months after last top up – you will receive a text advising of impending disconnection if you do not top up in the next 7 days
• 8 months and 7 days after last top up - your number will be disconnected but can be reactivated at any time within the following 6 months. Please submit a reconnection request or contact us via the Chat button on this screen, and we will be happy to assist you with this
• 14 months after last top up - your number is recycled and cannot be returned to you

You can top up any time with a minimum of €5.

You need a 5G enabled plan and a 5G phone to connect to the Vodafone 5G network. Our 5G Pay as you go plans include:

• Data Unlimited 5G 
• Extra Unlimited 5G

You also need to be in an area that has 5G coverage. If you’re using a 5G compatible phone in an area that doesn’t have 5G coverage, your phone will automatically swap to 4G, 3G or 2G – depending on the signal that’s available. Your 5G phone will then automatically reconnect to the 5G network once you’re back in a 5G area.

5G delivers faster speeds and allows you to download and stream the same size movies, songs and more, as on 4G today, but quicker.

Our plans on pay as you go have allowances of 10GB up to Unlimited data, so there are plenty of options to choose from.

To change your plan log into My Vodafone through the My Vodafone app or on Vodafone.ie and select change top up offer. For any other assistance, please press the Chat button on this screen.
