What it really costs

Vodafone states its mid-contract price rises in pounds on its deal page, and our table builds them in. Since 17 January 2025, Ofcom rules require providers to state any price rise in a new contract in pounds and pence. Percentage and inflation-linked rises are banned in new contracts.
Vodafone plans include 5G. The table also shows whether EU roaming is included or paid on each plan, so check that line before you travel in Europe.
