Vodafone is a well known website that has plenty to offer if you are looking to get a new mobile phone or change contracts. Regardless of what you want to have, or what your needs are, you should be able to find something suitable here. Let’s take a closer look to find out what they have available.
How do I find the website?
The Vodafone website is at online.vodafone.co.uk. From there you can access all the different areas of the website.
What sections are available on the site?
The home page is very nicely laid out with colour coded sections leading you to all the different areas available. This means that while they have a lot to offer you don’t get confused or misled by any of the sections or deals. It is all quite straightforward.
For example there is a handy section on different price plans, and also a section on call charges. You can access mobile phones and plans – plus deals and offers – from the top of the site.
Does it have plenty of contracts on offer?
The mobile phones and plans section is divided into phones and plans. This way you can either search for the plans they have and then choose a phone, or vice versa if there is a particular mobile phone you want.
There are several dozen plans on offer with different lengths of contract. These vary from twelve months to twenty four months, although they also have SIM only contracts for thirty days or twelve months.
If you prefer, you can go for pay as you go plans. Some of these offer free texts, free calls or free weekends, depending on what you need. Make sure you read through all of them before making your decision.
What networks are they geared up for?
Since this is the Vodafone website, they are providing mobile phones and plans for the Vodafone network. There is an excellent range of choices though, so if you are happy with Vodafone you should definitely find what you need.
Are there a lot of different mobile phones on offer? Do they provide a lot of information about each one?
Oh yes – you will be spoilt for choice on here! They have plans available for Nokia, Samsung and Sony Ericsson handsets, and they also have a selection of BlackBerrys. These are ideal if you work on the move and need to access your email and get online with the minimum of fuss. They also have LG and Vodafone of course.
On the left of the site you will see that you can select whether you want a monthly contract or a pay as you go phone. Depending on which one you select you will be able to see what plans are available.
For example on the monthly contracts the mobile phone comes free. Underneath each listing you will see that the minimum monthly contract amount is given, so you will know how much you will pay to get that phone. When you select pay as you go, the page reloads to show you the cost for buying each phone.
You can then choose to see the full details for the phone you like, or just a quick summary if you know roughly what to expect. This is handy since you won’t want to read through everything if you have been looking for something very specific.
Each product page has a brief review of the phone you are considering, with more tabs telling you about the features, specifications and what you get with it as well.
How easy is it to order a new mobile phone online?
You will see a button on each mobile phone page directing you to select and view your plan. The key features of this are laid out for you in a bullet point format, so they make for very easy reading. As you can tell, this site is definitely very user friendly.
The costs of calls and texts are given, and you can decide whether to select that plan or not. Once you have chosen what you need, you can simply go through to the checkout and complete your order. Your phone will then be with you in double quick time.
In conclusion
Vodafone has a sensational website that really delivers the goods, no matter what you are looking for in a mobile phone. If you want a simple phone that is paid for and is yours, you will find it easily. And if you want a contract with no fuss, they can provide that too.
