Had premium working last month, missed my top up by a day and then topped up, no way can I get premium working again. It says Vodafone X music is active in the app, I went through the hoops, putting in my phone number, entering the one time code then copying and pasting the link in the text message, using Chrome I just get the Vodafone symbol going round and round forever, and I mean I left it for over an hour but nothing happened. I used the link in the phone's browser and it landed me on the Vodafone offers page saying I had no active subscription, all this was done while on mobile data. I contacted the chat via the app and he just sent me another text with the link, he did confirm that my subscription is active. I'm at a loss now tbh.

Must be an issue with your account. I missed it by one day as well but was able to top up and activate it again when topping up by E20.

I missed my top up by 3 days and had to click on a link to get back an expired add on, someone here posted the link
My Spotify went back to the free option

Going to port to this this month, is there anyway to automate the 20 top ups?

Spotify premium now €8.99 if bought as as add-on. Afaik this won't impact on Vodafone X music, just if bought separately.

Yes it is in the app or on vodafone.ie when you log in (easier this way).

I am on the unlimited weekend offer and I can see on the website that the data allowance for the offer (for data usage during the week) has now increased from 20GB to 25GB.

However the allowance I am getting still is 20GB.

Does anyone know if this will change automatically eventually, and if not if there is something I can do to get the 25GB going forward?

I just got a text from Vodafone saying it will kick in next time you top up by €20 in one go.

Thanks. Just got the same text right now - I guess this changed recently and I was just a bit too impatient :-)

No issue with the account according to the chat. I've given up at this stage.

Doubt it, they retail online for 120 dollars so not a bad deal for new customers.

Is there any way of doing this headfones offer online as no store in galway seem to have a clue about it

The T&Cs say it’s mandatory to go to the store.

* Free pair of Plantronics BackBeat 505 wireless headphones available to customers who present accessory voucher in store when switching to any Vodafone X plan from another network (excluding Lyca Mobile). To complete the order process the customer must then enter the unique code provided by our staff in-store into the online Vodafone accessory portal and claim their free headphones.
*Customers must top up by €20 in-store to be eligible for the offer

Not sure the reason, but it looks like to me the offer is intended to get people to physically go to the store and talk to a staff member.

Says online to show the shop assistant a screen shot of the deal, better hurry before they are all gone

Regarding the headphones, my partner's daughter signed me up to Vodafone X at DCU a couple of weeks ago. I agreed to be ported to Vodafone via a message saying 'yes' on WhatsApp. Got the free headphones, and free month of X, now back to 3 I go

Strange to hand those out with no commitment. For whatever reason they must have an old stock they want to dump.

Port to Vodafone in the Vodafone shop and you will get everything you mentioned provided they have any headphones left

Vodafone phone and chat support were useless when it came to details on free headfones offer. I had to go into store where they didn't seem to have clue about it but eventually found the flyer for it. Once ported they give you a leaflet with a unique code which you can go online with and order the free pair of plantronic headfones.

Didn't have info on free month though? Is this applied automatically the second month or how does it work?

The offer states to go to a shop with the screenshot of the deal, why would chat or phone support be helping you ? It’s a call centre in the middle of nowhere.
Free month comes in a few weeks and you get credit for registering your details on the Vodafone app

Cheers for the info in the free month. I originally rang two of the three stores in galeay as it is a 40km drive there are didn't want to arrive and not have the deal available. Two of the stores didn't have a clue of the offer and said they didn't think it existed. Told them it is online saying to call into stores but they both said well we don't have any codes here for it. Hence then tried contacting call centre/online to see why these stores didn't know anything of it. Thankfully in the third store one of the workers had taken in the codes as the other worker there didn't hear of offer. In end got it thankfully so happy to have got a 99€ set of headfones for free and now the extra month. Very impressed by it.

I was helping a friend to port to Vodafone for the X deal today. We got a free Eir sim in the Eir shop and then went across to the Vodafone shop for the X deal.

However, it wouldn't port with the free Eir Sim until she topped up (minimum €5) and made 3 x 1 minute calls on the Eir sim first. So, the Eir credit has to be effectively sacrificed for the Vodafone X deal.

It took quite a while to complete everything, so anyone else getting a free sim to port needs to be aware of the hoops. The headphones will be posted out and the free month will follow somewhere down the road is my understanding.

Thanks - maybe I'm bamboozled after the day we had faffing with sims and phones, but I can't find the free sim only online with Post Mobile?

Just sign up to the X music offer and top up by 20 euro.

I don’t think it will last for much longer tbh.

Spotify is probably absorbing most of the revenue loss here as a way to expend market share, with very little cost to Vodafone if any. But this is not something they will do forever and as soon as they tell Vodafone that they need to see money coming their way for each of these “free” subscriptions, Vodafone will probably pass most of the bill to the end customer.

I think that is what happened with the price increase reported above.

Free headphones offer sounds great. Quick question: I have an Éir sim.... if I port over to Vodafone X and avail of the headphone offer, do I need to buy credit to do so..... and if I do buy credit, can I give it away to someone else who’s on Vodafone? Or can I just port over, get the flyer for headphones and top up at a later date?

OmegaGene

You shouldn’t have to buy credit but you can send it to another Vodafone customer if you do

If you want the headphones, you have to buy the deal at €20 and pay in store. This isn't credit as such - it pays for the X month.

Unfortunately, Vodafone no longer allow you to send spare credit to another customer, even if the deal had any credit leftover.

I have ported from Eir to Vodafone with a free SIM from Eir, and no credit ever having been put on it. All I had to do was receive a call on the number in-store.

I got free headphones, and a free month of X without paying a cent towards anything.
