VOXI Expands 5G Ready Mobile Social Tariff to Physical UK SIM Cards Offline

Contract-free UK mobile network operator VOXI, a brand of Vodafone (VodafoneThree), has today expanded their cheaper £10 VOXI For Now “social tariff”. Previously only available online via their website, the tariff will now also be offered as a physical SIM through local councils and housing teams, support charities, and prison resettlement programmes.

The tariff itself offers unlimited 5G or 4G data (mobile broadband), calls and texts for just £10 a month to anyone receiving benefits (not just the under 25s). But this only lasts for up to 6 months and after that they’ll switch you over to their standard £10 a month plan (20GB of data), where you’ll still have access to “Endless” Social Media as well as “Endless” calls, texts and the flexibility to change, pause, or cancel at any time.

Vodafone’s charity partner, the Good Things Foundation, will also distribute the SIMs through a selection of its community hubs as part of a new pilot.

Nicki Lyons, Chief Corporate Affairs & Sustainability Officer, VodafoneThree, said:

“Social tariffs play a vital role in ensuring that everyone can access the opportunities that connectivity enables, but too many people either don’t know they exist or face barriers to accessing them. By making VOXI For Now available through trusted local partners as a physical SIM, we’re bringing affordable connectivity directly into communities – helping people get online quickly and simply when they need to.”

Minister for Digital Economy, Liz Lloyd, said:

“Being connected is crucial for finding work, accessing essential services, and staying in touch with family and friends. That’s why efforts like VOXI’s expansion of its social tariff are so important. Making affordable connectivity easier to access helps break down barriers and ensure more people can get connected when it matters most.”

To get VOXI For Now, you need to be receiving one of the following government benefits: Jobseeker’s allowance, Universal Credit, Employment and Support Allowance, Disability allowance, Personal independence payment or Pension Credit (‘Verification Evidence’).
