Dickson Welcomes Vodafone’s Two New Tariffs to Help with the Cost-of-Living Crisis

East Antrim Alliance MLA, Stewart Dickson, has welcomed two new tariffs launched by Vodafone to support their most vulnerable customers.

Mr Dickson said: “I welcome the fact that companies, such as Vodafone, are working to ease the pressures of the cost-of-living crisis on the most vulnerable. However, it is a great shame that we have gotten to this point, and that our government isn’t doing more to support citizens.

“For those that are struggling, I would urge you to check out what’s on offer and how these new tariffs might benefit you”.

The two tariffs are:

Broadband social tariff

For £12 per month Vodafone Essentials Broadband is available to people on Job Seekers Allowance, Universal Credit, Employment and Support Allowance, Disability Allowance or Personal Independence Payment.

There are no set-up or leaving fees, and customers won’t be subject to in-contract price changes. The plan gives access to Vodafone’s quality Fibre 1 or Full Fibre 1 plan for 12 months, providing fast and reliable connectivity with average download speeds of 38Mbps.

This new tariff complements Vodafone’s existing mobile social tariff, VOXI for Now, which gives access to unlimited data, calls and text for £10 a month. Vodafone is the only network provider to offer social tariffs across fixed and mobile, meaning eligible customers can access mobile and broadband connectivity for 72 pence a day.

Small business broadband

Vodafone are also offering one year’s free broadband for small businesses to help them mitigate rising costs and stay connected to customers. This new support package offers Vodafone’s award-winning business grade broadband free for 12-months on a 24-month plan, and is available to new and existing customers who are eligible to upgrade.
