5 reasons you should choose Vodafone when you buy your next smartphone

Vodafone.

Whether you’re coming to the end of your existing mobile phone contract or looking for a new provider altogether, finding the right network is crucial to getting the best experience and value for money. 

With over 7 billion active smartphone users in the world, it’s no surprise that nearly 4 million new models are sold every day, and that’s more true than ever with the recent release of the iPhone 16. However, to make the most of its new capabilities and features, you’ll need the solid foundation of an award-winning network*** like Vodafone’s.

Let us tell you five reasons why Vodafone, The Nation’s Network, should be your port of call, especially if you’re a sucker for a good deal. 

1. Get a new phone every year with Vodafone Xchange

With Vodafone Xchange, you can get a new phone every year on one of Vodafone’s 24-month Phone Plans, or a year early if you opt for a longer plan length. There are no early upgrade fees, and if you upgrade to a new airtime and phone plan, you won’t need to pay off your old phone plan when you exchange. 

If you exchange your phone and its value exceeds the phone plan balance, Vodafone will even credit you the difference - and it is the only UK network provider to offer this. 

You can sleep better at night, too, in the knowledge that Vodafone claims to refurbish or resell 97% of exchanged phones and the rest are recycled.

2. The UK’s only Lifetime Service Promise

Vodafone is the only UK network to provide a Lifetime Service Promise. This market-leading device care offering means every new and refurbished phone comes with Battery Refresh and Lifetime Warranty at no extra cost, meaning phones last  longer with Vodafone.

3. Widespread coverage and 5G Ultra

Vodafone has coverage in 99% of UK homes and covers 96% of the UK. Supporting people since 1984, it’s a reliable, award-winning network*** - and with 5G Ultra on the iPhone 16, customers can now enjoy 10x faster speeds than 4G and greater 5G coverage. Truly, Vodafone is The Nation's Network.

4. Save up to £736 and get an instant, guaranteed value with Vodafone’s Trade-in Tool

Not only is Vodafone a great network to buy an Apple device, it’s also the best place to go to unlock the value of your old phone. Customers buying a new phone this September can save up to £736* when they trade in an iPhone 15 Pro Max 1TBs. 

Vodafone’s Trade-in Tool provides new and existing customers with an instant and guaranteed trade-in price before they send their phone off. The value can then be used as a saving against a new Airtime Plan or towards an existing Phone Plan, helping them upgrade more affordably. 

Customers who purchased an iPhone 15 series phone with Vodafone's Buy-Back Price Guarantee before 15th December last year can save up to £786**, which includes a £50 Buy-Back bonus when they trade in their phone and buy a new one.

5. Spread the cost of a new phone with 0% APR Phone Plans up to 36 months

All of Vodafone’s new and refurbished pay monthly phones are available on 0% APR Phone Plans. Customers can decide how much they want to pay upfront for their new device, as well as choose the length of their device plan – up to 36 months. Plus, customers can also take advantage of flexible upgrades, allowing them to get a new phone as soon as three months into their plan. All of this makes Vodafone the smarter place to buy a new phone.

What’s more, Vodafone has its own VeryMe Rewards loyalty programme, and it’s packed with giveaways, offers and discounts every week. Customers can even gift selected rewards to a friend.

Not only can customers get a new phone every year with Vodafone Xchange, they can enjoy 0% APR phone plans up to 36 months, and instant, guaranteed trade-in savings. And for those customers who want to keep their phones lasting longer, Vodafone offers its market-leading Lifetime Service Promise on its reliable, award-winning network***. With something for every customer, Vodafone is an appealing choice to consumers looking for a new network.

*Pricing subject to change: up to £736 saving on the iPhone 15 Pro Max 1TB.

**Value varies by model, up to £786 (1TB iPhone 15 Pro Max) and the guarantee requires the customer’s phone to be in good working condition.

***Reliable, award-winning network: the UK relies on Vodafone as a network provider as it powers critical national infrastructure and 77% of emergency services, provides coverage in 99% of UK homes, covers 96% of the UK and has won numerous awards.
