Data Add-ons for your prepaid service
This support article will give you key information about getting extra data for your prepaid service for use in Australia with our Prepaid Data Add-ons.
How to get a Prepaid Data Add-on.
The best way to get a Prepaid Data Add-on for use in Australia is through My Vodafone or Express Recharge. You can access these pages without using your data.
You can also get an Add-on by sending a text message to 1511 with a relevant code using your saved credit/debit card. Otherwise, send a text message to 1264 to use your My Credit balance.
Additional information
You can roll over your Add-on’s unused data if you get another Data Add-on with the same expiry period before it expires.
For example, if you have a 28 day Data Add-on, you’ll need to buy another 28 day Data Add-on before the original Add-on expires.
The unused data will take on the expiry date of the new Data Add-on.
Your Data Add-on will be used before the data in your recharge. Once your Add-on expires or is used up, your data usage will be deducted from the included data in your recharge. After you consume your recharge’s data inclusions, your data usage will be charged from your My Credit.
If you’ve purchased 2 or more Data Add-ons with different expiry periods, the inclusions will be deducted in this order regardless of their expiry dates:
- Daily Data Add-on
- 7 days Data Add-ons
- 28 days Data Add-ons
