What is Mobile Broadband?
Vodafone Mobile Broadband is simply Internet access using the Vodafone mobile network.
It's convenient, portable and doesn't require a fixed landline – letting you surf the net at home, email on the train, or Facebook®on the go.
How to get started
Vodafone Mobile Broadband is easy to use, and comes in a variety of choices to suit your needs. There are three plan options:
- Prepaid - you pay for your data upfront, and purchase more as and when you need it.
- Month to Month - generous data allowances without the commitment of a contract. Freedom to start, stop and move between plans as your needs change.
- 12 or 24 Month Plans - optimum data rates, freedom to move plans with Free Starter USB modem or Pocket WiFi on selected plans.
Starter USB Modem not for regional use. See details below#
