O2 and Vodafone have joined Three in announcing that they will be stocking the recently announced Sony Xperia Z. Neither of the networks have yet announced any prices or a date for availability. So not really much info to go on as yet. What we do really know is …
Let’s be brutally honest shall we? The flashy smartphones we write about daily are expensive. If you want to buy one without a contract then you’ll need around £500 for a top-end handset. Most of us find that fighting to get a Nexus 4 (which is considerably cheaper) …
Do you have a bad mobile signal in the one place you want to use it most? It’s a more common problem than you may think. Whilst networks do their utmost to provide the best service they can, it’s hard for them to legislate for people with basement …
Good news for customers today as Vodafone announced on the official blog that the Nokia Lumia 920 is soon to make an appearance on their network. This is clearly important news as EE have had the exclusivity on the flagship Nokia since its UK launch however this …
Tablets have come a long way since they first appeared. No-one can argue that the iPad has played a massive part and every other manufacturer is now trying to play catchup. With competition comes innovation and that has helped to bring screen sizes down. The 10″ tablets are …
Looking for a Nexus 4? Whilst generally browsing around and I’ve been checking different websites to see what’s available. I think I’ve found a bargain. The guys over at Digital Phone Company sell Vodafone contracts and they have discounted the Nexus 4. They’re showing the 16GB variant as …
Enjoying the free WiFi on the Tube? Up until today, only Virgin Media customers had a guarantee that it would remain free into the New Year. However, Virgin Media have just announced that all EE (that’s Orange and T-Mobile too) and Vodafone customers will continue to get the …

In a interesting move similar to the rental program from O2, Vodafone have released a new tariff that allows you to get a new phone every year. All at a premium price of course. Vodafone Red Hot gives customers unlimited calls and texts, 2GB of internet and WiFi …
Data plans can be confusing. Seen those people staring blankly at catalogues in mobile shops? Yup. That’s them. Vodafone have done some research and have looked at SIM-only deals. They’ve found that people generally found that people looking for SIM-only deals do so for two reasons… a) They’re …
Expansys have had the black version of the Samsung Galaxy S3 (or SIII) available SIM-free for about a week now, but you’ll also be able to get it from Vodafone for free on plans costing £42 or more. Voda have us a nudge after the 16GB version arrived …
When the Huawei G300 came out it was met with cries of “oh for god sake it runs Gingerbread” and they were met with the usual “we’ll update it soon”. After a few leaked ROMs the official update is finally here. We reviewed it here if you’re interested. …
With the launch of the UK’s first 4G network only days away and after EE have come in for some major criticism over their price plans for the super-fast network, the competition have decided that they are not going to remain quiet and surrender but have come out …
Just a few days ago we spotted that lucky Galaxy S3 users on the Three network were receiving the latest Android OS update – Jelly Bean. Now it’s the turn of Vodafone customers, who can download the update either via Kies or Over The Air. We’d love to …
We’ve seen the adverts and the pictures, but somehow – up close – the iPhone 5 looks a lot different. It almost looks a little… “Samsungy”. Yup, we spotted the Galaxy SIII sitting on an iPhone 5 stand in the window of a local Vodafone store this morning. …
Two of the UK’s largest mobile operators are to join forces, sharing their 2G, 3G and 4G mobile broadband networks. A new company will be formed in which both O2 and Vodafone will have equal shares. This will take control of all 18,500 sites across the UK. Ronan …
Quick update then, the Bond-infused Xperia T is exclusive to O2. However, you can get the handset (minus the 007 stuff) from Three. Now Vodafone have it too, and they’ve even sent us their own hands-on video below (although we’ve created our own too). It’s up for £37 …
Yes, we’re well aware, the iPad 3 has been around for quite some time now, but after a week of massive Apple announcements, it’s worth looking at their latest tablet. For me, I don’t honestly use a tablet a great deal. Sure, call me old-fashioned. Perhaps I’m still …

Example pricing and details for iPhone (24 month contracts): Plan 100 Plan Vodafone Red Vodafone Red Red Data Monthly Fee £25 £37 £42 £47 Voice (minutes) 100 Unlimited Unlimited Unlimited Texts Unlimited Unlimited …
Vodafone has now had a delivery of Nano SIMs. Could they have got any smaller from the current Micro SIM, yes! With a delivery of 500,000 of the new SIMs we have found some images courtesy of Vodafone themselves. With manufacturers making handsets slimmer, the smaller sim makes …

A few weeks ago we reviewed the Vodafone Smart II which is a budget phone from Vodafone. Vodafone were running a competition in conjunction with the Tate Collective where people were invited to design a back plate for the phone. The winning design would be available in select …
No indication on price just yet, but the most recent Vodafone catalogue shows the handset as coming to both Pay As You Go and Contract. Previously we had only seen the phone on contract, and we’re guessing that this slim stock-Android phone will be pretty flippin’ cheap too. …
Arriving on Vodafone in early August, the Ascend P1 from Huawei is a a slender handset which shares some of the same styling points as the S2 from Samsung. It runs a relatively unspoilt Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and will be free on monthly price plans of …
So, what exactly is a Mi-Fi? It sounds a bit complicated but in reality it’s not that hard to grasp. It’s a small (and in this case, rather pebble-like) unit with a SIM card inside. The sticker on the front of the box sums it up best – …
So, if we’re looking at budget Android handsets we have to look at this – the Vodafone Smart II. It’s going on sale for just £70 and is powered by Android 2.3. Inside it’s actually an Alcatel device – the charger and battery gives it all away …
With the British summer becoming a bit of a wash-out, Vodafone have stepped up with a solution. It’s an umbrella. Sure, we’ve seen umbrellas before. I’ve got a collection of broken ones in the boot of my car, but none of those will act as a high-gain antenna …
Telefónica UK (O2) and Vodafone UK are to begin “pooling” their two networks – both 900MHz – to create “one national grid running each operator’s independent spectrum.” They’re doing this partially to ensure that 4G coverage can be rolled out as quickly as possible, but also to improve …

We previously knew it as the HTC Golf, but now the HTC Desire C has appeared in the Vodafone Portugal catalogue with suitably mid-range specs. There’s a 600Mhz CPU (probably the same one we saw in the HTC Explorer), a 3.5″ 320×480 pixel screen, 4GB of internal memory …
Well yes, just as the people around me were talking about it, we’ve got confirmation that Vodafone will be carrying the all-new Samsung Galaxy SIII too. They’ve scored a bit of a coup here too, bagging the 32GB version as an exclusive from launch, but hey – they’ll …

Old news this really, but people have seen it elsewhere and have nudged us about it. We heard that Voda were to take the HTC One X and One S back in February and they’ve now appeared on the Vodafone website. The One X looks to be coming …
Everything Everywhere have been given the green light by Ofcom to, in principle, use some of their 1800MHz spectrum to roll out LTE. T-Mobile and Orange already use 1800MHz for their existing 2G networks, but have enough “room” to roll out 4G LTE ahead of other networks, who …
