Who uses Vodafone's network?

Other networks using Vodafone can offer lower costs and extra benefits compared to going with the network direct. You'll still get exactly the same coverage, although customer service levels may vary.

Asda Mobile, Lebara Mobile, Talkmobile and Voxi use the Vodafone network and we'll look at the benefits of each below.

1. VOXI

Great for social media addicts! 

VOXI is owned and operated by Vodafone itself. So why has the company set up a second network? Because this one is aimed specifically at younger users by offering unlimited social media.

That's right, on VOXI you can use Snapchat, Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Facebook Messenger without it coming out of your data allowance.

VOXI also offers 5G, plus it has an unlimited data plan, and most plans also come with unlimited video, letting you stream content from TikTok, YouTube, Prime Video, Netflix, My5, TVPlayer, UKTV Play and Twisted Mirror without it coming out of your data allowance (though of course you still need a subscription to the services where relevant).

Plus, VOXI also lets you change, pause, or cancel your plan at any time, and includes unlimited calls and texts on all plans. You can also tether, use Wi-Fi Calling and 4G Calling, and you can optionally add an unlimited music pass to your plan, which lets you use select streaming music services without them coming out of your data allowance, though unlike social media these cost extra.

The main downsides to VOXI include limited plan types, and the fact that roaming isn’t free.

2. Lebara Mobile

Great for international callers!

Lebara Mobile stands out mostly through offering plans that let you make international calls to select countries at no extra cost. That makes it a good choice if you have friends or family abroad that you talk to regularly.

Otherwise it’s a fairly basic network, but it has a range of short-term SIM Only plans, including ones with unlimited data, plus it offers Pay As You Go, and you can use any of your data to tether. Lebara Mobile also lets you roam across much of Europe at no extra cost, and you can even roam in India, though other than India you can’t roam further afield for free, despite its international focus.

3. Asda Mobile

Great for affordable 5G!

Asda Mobile is another network that has switched from EE to Vodafone, so now you can enjoy coverage in all the same places as Vodafone if you’re an Asda Mobile customer.

The network is in many ways quite basic, offering a range of competitively priced, 30-day SIM Only plans, along with a Pay As You Go service. It doesn’t sell any phones on contract (though you can buy them outright or spread the cost), but it does offer 5G on some plans, and you can also get unlimited data.

Basics like tethering and inclusive roaming across much of Europe are also included with all Asda Mobile plans.

4. Talkmobile

Great for keeping things simple and affordable!

Talkmobile is a simple, straightforward network, which rather than packing in loads of extras aims to keep its plans as affordable as possible.

You can choose between a small number of 30-day and 12-month plans, all of which come with unlimited minutes and texts. So all you’re really choosing is the duration and your data allowance.

You can’t get unlimited data here, but you can tether, and roam across much of Europe at no extra cost, and there’s also 5G. But mostly Talkmobile is a network for people who want to use their phone as, well, a phone, and keep costs low in the process.
