VOXI is run by Vodafone, so it has access to the network’s infrastructure and comprehensive 4G coverage, along with widespread 5G, but it also lets you use most popular forms of social media without it coming out of your data allowance, and on some plans you can do the same with video and music streaming.
We’ll explain that in more detail below, as well as taking a closer look at VOXI’s SIM Only plans. But free social media and video data isn’t the only plus point to VOXI. The network’s main benefits include:
What does unlimited free social media use really mean?
If you’re considering VOXI then a big part of the reason is probably its free social media use, but what do we actually mean by that?
It’s simple: VOXI lets you use data on Snapchat, Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Facebook Messenger without it coming out of your allowance. There’s no limit to how much you can use, so you could spend all day every day messaging on these services and your data wouldn’t drop at all.
That means if social media is your main data use then you should be absolutely fine on even the smallest 15GB VOXI plan.
The only real caveat is that you need some data left to use social media. So if you use all your data streaming Netflix for example you won’t then be able to chat on Facebook Messenger. But as long as you have at least 1 megabyte left you’ll be able to chat as much as you want.
And if you run out you can always top up, with an additional 1GB costing you £3.
It’s also worth noting that making and receiving voice and video calls on WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and Instagram isn’t included.
Some (but not all) of VOXI’s plans also come with Unlimited Video, which works in much the same way as its social media perk, but for video streaming.
That means you can use unlimited data for YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, My5, and TikTok without it coming out of your data allowance, just as long as you still have some data left.
Many VOXI plans also come with Unlimited Music, which is the same idea again, but for streaming music from Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Tidal, Deezer, Napster, and Primordial.
VOXI has a number of benefits beyond its endless social media, video, and music. For one thing, the network’s SIM Only plans are all just 30 days, so they have more flexibility than some networks. That makes it great for students, whose finances and needs might regularly change. These plans also all come with unlimited calls, texts, and picture messages.
You can also use as much of your data as you want each month towards tethering (sharing your phone’s connection with a tablet, computer, or other device to get it online.) Better yet, if you tether to a phone, laptop, or tablet then you’ll be able to make use of your endless social and video data on the tethered device as well.
Finally, VOXI also rewards you for recruiting friends to the network. For each friend who joins on your referral you will get an Amazon, PayPal or Just Eat gift card worth up to £20 (depending on which plan they pick) – and so will they.
Of course, you also get 5G as standard on VOXI. There’s also an unlimited data option, though with endless social, music and video data you might not need it.
VOXI charges £2.25 per day to roam in Europe, giving you full access to your allowances (up to a 20GB fair use limit for data). There are also longer roaming passes which can reduce the price to as little as £1 per day.
To keep your number when switching to VOXI, just get a PAC (Porting Authorisation Code) from your old network by texting 'PAC' to 65075 from the number you want to keep. Then, order your VOXI SIM card, and during checkout you'll be able to supply your PAC and arrange for your number to be ported. You can also arrange a number transfer from your online VOXI account once your VOXI SIM has arrived.
VOXI will supply a trio SIM which contains all three possible SIM card sizes, so you can then just pop out the size you need.
