In contrast, the Vodafone Basics plans are restricted to 4G coverage and a maximum of 100GB data per month.<\/p>\n<p>For most people, we still think Vodafone Basics is a better value choice. Although you&#8217;re restricted to 4G coverage, this can still give you download speeds of around 25Mbps on average. That&#8217;s fast enough for pretty much anything you&#8217;d like to do on your phone, including streaming Ultra HD video. The Basics plans go up to 100GB per month, which is enough for most users (as the average UK mobile user only needs 8GB per month). The shorter 12-month contract also gives you more flexibility, compared to Vodafone Red.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a more fully-featured option, Vodafone Red gives you access to 5G with download speeds that are up to 10 times faster than 4G. You can also choose from a range of data plans going up to 150GB per month, but you&#8217;ll need to commit to a 24-month contract for the best deal. You&#8217;ll also be able to add <a href=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/redir\/?go=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vodafone.co.uk%2Fmobile%2Fonenumber\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-aff=\"Vodafone Mobile\" data-ourl=\"https:\/\/www.vodafone.co.uk\/mobile\/onenumber\">Vodafone OneNumber<\/a> (for smartwatches, tablets and Alexa), and you&#8217;ll have access to international calls and premium-rate calls (additional charges will apply).<\/p>\n<p>In this article, we&#8217;ll compare Vodafone Red and Vodafone Basics, looking at the features available on each and the best value deals.

This gives you access to the following benefits, which are not available when you choose Vodafone Basics:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>You&#8217;ll have access to 5G coverage on Vodafone Red plans.<\/strong> Unlike the Vodafone Basics plans which are limited to 4G, you&#8217;ll have complete access to Vodafone&#8217;s 5G network on Red. If you&#8217;re using a compatible 5G phone in a 5G coverage area, your average download speeds will be around 150-200Mbps (about 10 times faster than 4G). You&#8217;ll also have access to more network capacity, which is handy if you&#8217;re using a phone in a busy urban area.<\/li>\n<li><strong>You can use your number on a smartwatch, tablet or Alexa (charges apply). <\/strong>On Vodafone Red plans, you&#8217;ll be able to add the <a href=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/redir\/?go=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vodafone.co.uk%2Fmobile%2Fonenumber\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-aff=\"Vodafone Mobile\" data-ourl=\"https:\/\/www.vodafone.co.uk\/mobile\/onenumber\">OneNumber service<\/a> from an extra \u00a37.50 per month. This gives you connectivity on your smartwatch or tablet, with the ability to share your data as well. You&#8217;ll also be able to make and receive phone calls on Alexa devices.<\/li>\n<li><strong>You&#8217;ll be able to call international and premium-rate numbers (charges apply).<\/strong> If you&#8217;d like to call an international number or a premium-rate number (beginning with 09), this is only possible when you choose a Vodafone Red plan. Having said that, additional charges will apply for this and there are normally cheaper ways to do it (e.g. using FaceTime or WhatsApp).<\/li>\n<li><strong>You&#8217;ll be able to choose a &#8216;Euro Roam&#8217;, &#8216;Global Roam&#8217; or &#8216;Entertainment&#8217; plan. <\/strong>On Vodafone Red, you can upgrade your plan to &#8216;Xtra Euro Roam&#8217; or &#8216;Xtra Global Roam&#8217;.

You&#8217;ll get access to Vodafone&#8217;s 4G network on this plan, with 99% population coverage across the UK. There&#8217;s also access to VeryMe Rewards.<\/p>\n<p>There are a number of limitations worth being aware of on Vodafone Basics:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>You won&#8217;t have 5G coverage on Vodafone Basics.<\/strong> On Vodafone Basics, you&#8217;re restricted to Vodafone&#8217;s 4G network. In our opinion, this shouldn&#8217;t really be a deal-breaker as 4G is already fast enough for pretty much anything you&#8217;d like to do on your phone (including video calls &amp; watching ultra HD video). The main downside is that you might need to wait a little bit longer for large downloads, though this might not be that noticeable (e.g around 10 seconds more for a typical app to download). You also won&#8217;t get the additional capacity benefits that are available on 5G.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vodafone Basics offers up to 100GB data per month.<\/strong> In our opinion, that&#8217;s more than enough for the vast majority of users. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ofcom.org.uk\/research-and-data\/multi-sector-research\/cmr\/2023\">Ofcom<\/a> (2023), the average UK mobile user consumes around 8GB data per month. However, if you&#8217;re a heavy user needing more than 100GB per month, Vodafone Basics won&#8217;t be suitable for you.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Some rarely-used features are not available on Vodafone Basics.<\/strong> For instance, you won&#8217;t be able to make international phone calls or premium-rate calls to numbers beginning with 09. You can, however, continue to do this through apps such as FaceTime and WhatsApp (which are cheaper as well). In addition, OneNumber isn&#8217;t compatible with Vodafone Basics. However, this only makes a difference if you have a smartwatch or tablet that you&#8217;d like to connect to your plan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vodafone Basics is for new customers only.<\/strong> Vodafone Basics is only available to new Vodafone Pay Monthly customers. This means, for instance, it isn&#8217;t possible to switch from Vodafone Red to Vodafone Basics.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The following table shows the latest Vodafone Basics deals:<\/p>\n<table class=\"container table-sm tariff-widget-ng tariff-widget-ng-simo border mx-0 mb-3\">\r\n\t<thead>\r\n\t\t<tr class=\"row m-0 p-2 font-weight-bold text-center bg-light\">\r\n\t\t\t<th scope=\"col\" class=\"d-none d-md-block col-md-3 py-0\">Plan<\/th>\r\n\t\t\t<th scope=\"col\" class=\"col-6 col-md-4 py-0\">Data<\/th>\r\n\t\t\t<th scope=\"col\" class=\"col-6 col-md-4 py-0\">Monthly Cost<\/th>\r\n\t\t\t<th scope=\"col\" class=\"d-none d-md-block col-md-1 p-0\"><\/th>\r\n\t\t<\/tr>\r\n\t<\/thead><tbody><tr class=\"row position-relative px-3 m-0 border-top\" ><td class=\"col-md-3 px-2 pl-md-0 pt-3 pb-0 pb-md-3 border-0 text-center\"><div class=\"d-inline-block p-1\" style=\"background-color: #4A4D4E;

This is a nine-digit code that authorises the transfer of your phone number to Vodafone. You can get a PAC Code through your mobile network&#8217;s website or app, or by texting PAC to 65075.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve gotten a PAC Code from your current network, you can order your new plan from <a href=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/redir\/?go=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vodafone.co.uk%2Fmobile%2Fbest-sim-only-deals\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-aff=\"Vodafone Mobile\" data-ourl=\"https:\/\/www.vodafone.co.uk\/mobile\/best-sim-only-deals\">Vodafone&#8217;s website<\/a>. During the order process, you&#8217;ll be able to provide your PAC Code. Alternatively, you can wait for the SIM card to arrive and then <a href=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/redir\/?go=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vodafone.co.uk%2Fmy-vodafone-account%2Fkeep-my-number\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-aff=\"Vodafone Mobile\" data-ourl=\"https:\/\/www.vodafone.co.uk\/my-vodafone-account\/keep-my-number\">provide the PAC Code through this online form<\/a>.
