Vodafone has launched a groundbreaking Black Friday offer that directly tackles one of the most significant and costly issues for mobile phone users: expensive international roaming charges.
A New Era for SIM-Only Deals
The network provider is now offering a SIM-only contract for £31 per month. This plan includes unlimited 5G data, which in itself represents a competitive offer in the current market. However, the most transformative feature is the inclusive global roaming. Vodafone confirms that subscribers can use their plan in 83 different countries without any data limits, with 5G access available in every supported destination worldwide.
This represents a major shift from standard industry practice, where networks often charge substantial fees for using a phone abroad. A typical two-week trip to Europe can cost up to £30 in roaming fees, with costs soaring even higher for travel to non-EU destinations like Australia and New Zealand. Furthermore, many providers impose strict data caps on roaming, even when customers have purchased a dedicated roaming pass.
Substantial Savings and Enhanced Coverage
This new Vodafone deal is not just about convenience; it offers tangible financial benefits. Customers could save up to £216 over a standard two-year contract compared to traditional bundled plans with similar roaming benefits.
The deal also provides access to Vodafone's dual-network partnership with Three. This collaboration improves overall network coverage by allowing devices to seamlessly switch between the two networks, ensuring a more reliable connection.
A Smarter Way to Manage Mobile Costs
For those considering a new handset like the latest iPhone or Samsung model, this Vodafone offer highlights the cost-effectiveness of separating phone and SIM payments. While bundling a handset with a contract is common, it often leads to overpayment once the phone itself is paid off.
Opting for a SIM-only deal allows users to keep their monthly costs low after the handset is owned outright. This Black Friday period presents an ideal opportunity to secure excellent data and roaming terms from network providers.
Vodafone has also introduced other SIM-only options, including a £24 per month plan that offers unlimited 5G data without the global roaming feature. All these deals are available directly through the Vodafone website.
