Vodafone UK Boost 4G Data on £8 SIM Only Basics Plan to 40GB

Mobile operator Vodafone UK has increased the bundled 4G data allowance (mobile broadband) on their £8 per month SIM Only Basics plan from 30GB (GigaBytes) to 40GB. The operator’s Basics plans also come with unlimited UK minutes and texts on 12-month term.

The plans, which Vodafone make quite hard to find on their website (here’s a direct link) – they don’t even display them on their SIM Only deals page, are very simplistic plans that don’t include any support for 5G services (only 4G and older). Otherwise, £7 a month gets you just 6GB of data, then £8 for 40GB and £10 for 50GB – there’s certain some odd allowance jumps there.

Just remember that these are still subject to the usual mid-contract price hikes, thus your monthly Basics Plan will increase each year on 1st April by £1.
