Vodafone opens their 4G network to prepaid users today, but there are a few caveats to start with. To be eligible for the initial roll out, you must be an existing prepaid Vodafone customer, and:
- Have a 4G device;
- Have an active Prepaid recharge – it’s strongly recommend by Vodafone that you have a plan with more than 500MB data ($30 Cap and above, All Time and Flexi Caps)
- Live in a Vodafone 4G area
The roll out will be progressive, with Vodafone aiming to have all eligible existing prepaid customers migrated to the 4G network by the end of October. If you have a have a 4G phone – expect to receive a SMS or email from them in the next few days inviting you to join the network.
If you aren’t a Vodafone prepaid customer, then you can sign up from mid November. More information is available at the Vodafone site.

Do the same with the $50 prepaid and end up with 22.7GB. Convinced… Read more »
