Here's how you'll know if you are calling a number on the Vodafone network

We've introduced a free TXT service to help you see who's on Vodafone and who isn't. Just TXT the person's full mobile number free to 300. We'll TXT you back to let you know if they're on the Vodafone network or not.

Do I get better rates for calling/TXTing mobiles on the Vodafone network?

Your plan may include different rates for numbers you call or TXT on the Vodafone network. You may wish to check which network your mate or colleague is on, before you make a call or send a TXT to them.

There are also some services that are only available between mobiles on the Vodafone network. For example, your Vodafone BestMate has to be someone else on the Vodafone network.

Here are all the Vodafone plans that feature great rates to other mobiles on the Vodafone network. If you're at all confused or want more information, check our number portability FAQs, visit your nearest Vodafone store, or speak to your Account Manager.

Smart plans
There are several smart plan Add-Ons that give you better rates to other mobiles on the Vodafone network:

• BestMate - your nominated BestMate number must be on the Vodafone network.
• TXT5000 Add-On

talkZone and talkZoneZero
You can only have mobiles on the Vodafone network in your talkZone or talkZoneZero calling group, and only mobiles on the Vodafone network or landlines as Frequently Called Numbers.

Supa Prepay

• BestMate - your nominated BestMate number must be on the Vodafone network.
• TXT5000 - this Supa Prepay Add-On only applies to TXT's you send to other mobiles on the Vodafone network.

Important information for switching 027 Vodafone customers

When you switch your existing 027number to Vodafone you'll be eligible for our great On Account and Prepay rates and offers. You can also choose a hot new mobile which you can roam with to over 140 different countries.

Most of the services you use will be the same as any Vodafone customer. However, your access to and use of a small number of our services may differ from those available to 021 customers.
