Vodafone Promo Codes & Deals

Once, mobile phone contracts promised little more than a plastic SIM card and 24 predictable months of existential regret. Now, they come with lifetime warranties, battery refreshes, and make-you-blink savings. Or at least, they claim to. Vodafone - the UK’s quietly ubiquitous telecom giant - has leaned hard into this shift, offering discounts that sound suspiciously like your monthly takeaway budget. So, naturally, we took a closer look at some of the deals currently headlining Vodafone’s sales page. And yes, we read the small print so you don’t have to.

iPhone 16 Pro: Shiny, expensive, slightly more affordable

We’re at the point where the iPhone is less a phone and more a recurring life event. The iPhone 16 Pro, Apple’s latest polished pebble of ambition, is now available via Vodafone with a seemingly generous £404 discount. This whittles down the monthly cost on Vodafone’s EVO plan - the brand’s buy-now-pay-while-experiencing-constant-FOMO offering. Throw in up to £348 in trade-in savings if you part with your current phone (and qualify for their £100 bonus), and the numbers do start to feel less biting. Kind of like paying £9 for a coffee that's usually £12: good deal or just good marketing?

As for what you’re actually getting: it’s a very fast, very capable phone with titanium fluffing out the press releases. It takes excellent low-light photos, handles Apple’s new AI dabbling ("Apple Intelligence") and still doesn’t give you a real reason to ditch USB-C charging frustration. All Vodafone models come with the Lifetime Service Promise, which includes battery replacements and a lifetime warranty. This helps justify the long commitment, although how often people keep phones long enough to use a lifetime warranty is a philosophical question for another time.

Google Pixel 9 Pro XL: The quiet overachiever

Google’s phones have always been a bit like Radiohead albums: admired by critics, quietly adored by fans, and mostly ignored by mainstream buyers who went with whatever Samsung and Apple told them to. But the Pixel 9 Pro XL is a solid device, particularly if you enjoy Android without bloat or unpredictable software quirks. Vodafone’s current offer trims off up to £792 on this phone, with a potential trade-in bonus of £367 (depending on how pristine your old device is, and how sentimental you are).

The Pixel 9 Pro XL handles Google’s AI features better than most - call screening, live translations, image magic tricks - which may or may not be your thing. The phone design doesn’t scream luxury, but it’s practical, and the camera remains one of the best in real-world use (especially for point-and-shoot photography that hides your general lack of skill).

Samsung’s Galaxy S25 and S24 FE: Saving money, spending differently

The Galaxy S25 comes with a £432 discount on Vodafone, while the slightly less ambitious S24 FE offers a £396 savings. These aren’t life-changing price cuts, but when you're dealing with high-end hardware wrapped in Gorilla Glass and algorithmic ambition, any discount feels vaguely reassuring. Samsung’s AI features are here too - document summarising, photo editing, and voice cloners that try not to be too creepy.

Samsung phones tend to age well enough, and Vodafone’s Lifetime Service Promise helps take the edge off battery degradation anxiety. Still, unless you’re particularly jazzed about Samsung’s idea of an ecosystem (SmartThings, Galaxy Buds, Bixby - remember him?), the newer features may feel more iterative than inspirational.

And for those chasing folding screens over rational decisions, Vodafone also has the Galaxy Z Flip6 and Fold6 available. The deals vary, but you'll want to have patience with the pricing gymnastics often required to make it all make sense.

HONOR Magic V3: Ambitious phone, slightly less mainstream appeal

The HONOR Magic V3 is currently listed with an £864 discount - one of Vodafone’s largest headline savings. It folds, unfolds, multitasks, and tries very hard to prove that HONOR isn’t just Huawei with a mustache. The catch? Software longevity is a question mark, and so is mainstream app support beyond the usual suspects. Still, the hardware is surprisingly good - flagship-grade cameras, solid screen brightness, and enough power to replace your iPad if your palms are wide enough.

Buying it through Vodafone means you’ll also get that lifetime warranty and battery care, which boosts long-term credibility. Not a bad option for the experimental buyer who enjoys being the only person in the café with a phone that folds into a cracker-sized square.

Plans, pricing and the obligatory legal mumbo jumbo

Vodafone’s EVO platform lets you split the cost of your phone from your airtime - so you can theoretically upgrade more often, or leave the plan earlier without paying off more than the device cost. Monthly prices vary based on what you take out, and nearly all SIM plans now feature a twist: annual price rises every April. Pay monthly plans go up by £1.80, broadband by £3. It’s not ideal, but it’s clearly disclosed - and in fairness, few providers are avoiding this.

Shipping is standard (usually free), delivery times within 1-2 working days depending on stock. Returns are possible within 14 days, though you'll need to keep all packaging intact, and pretend you didn’t get too attached. Some deals are online-only, so walking into a store may not yield the same prices.

Verdict: Worth it, just about

Like most modern telco offers, Vodafone’s savings look better on banners than they do under a calculator. That said, the combination of up-front discounts, lifetime warranty perks, battery refresh promises, and occasional trade-in extras do add measurable value - assuming you’re not allergic to long contracts or mildly opaque pricing models. Is it the most exciting way to spend £60 a month? Not really. But it might save you from the even less exciting prospect of negotiating with other networks.

In short: not exhilarating, but efficient. And these days, that’s probably good enough.
