Buying data bundles
To surf the internet using Mobile Broadband you need to have a
data bundle. Data bundles have both a megabyte (MB) allowance
as well as an expiry date. If you use the MB allowance before you
reach the expiry date, or if the expiry date passes before you’ve
used all the MBs up, then either your next bundle will activate
or you’ll need to buy another bundle. Any unused MBs in a data
bundle will not roll over. When you’ve run out of MBs you’ll be
automatically re-directed to www.vodafone.co.uk/mbbmoredata,
where you can buy another data bundle online. If you prefer to
pay by cash, simply visit any Vodafone shop. There are a range of
bundles to choose from, so you can pick the one that’s right for
you. Please make sure you’ve got your Mobile Broadband number
to hand.
Using data abroad
You can purchase a data bundle for Europe or the rest of the
world from www.vodafone.co.uk/mbbmoredata. If you connect
using Mobile Broadband when you’re abroad and you don’t have
a data bundle that covers roaming, you’ll be re-directed to this
page automatically.
Your Mobile Broadband number
This is displayed in the My Account window, which you can open
from the Shortcuts bar at the bottom of the Vodafone Mobile
Broadband application window.
