Cat amongst the pigeons with this one … when quite a few of us have EE 

[dotdash79]

I wonder if you can get a payg esim for Vodafone 

[CaledonianGonzo]

As a Vodafone customer I'll be intrigued to see if this makes any difference.

I recently switched back to EE, partly in the hope it would mean my phone would actually work at Glastonbury this year unlike last year.

New app then 

[Crazyfool01]

Surely the app has to be better than the ee one at least ?! 

[ProperTea]

It's just made me realise how wild it is that part of the reason I've been on EE is because of Glastonbury!

Looks like I may well move from 1p mobile who use EE.  Shame as they've been great

[kaytee...]

Why would they go with literally the worst network going 😔

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Does anyone actually use the app?

They will hopefully provide infastructure just like Ee have been doing …. And boost the signal From memory EE put up extra masts 

[Crazyfool01]

And what’s the exclusive tickets thing about on the video ?

Worst announcement ever! 😞

They say ‘exclusive tickets’ not a fan of that - unless it’s a small competition? Did EE give tickets out?

Probably to force people to switch carriers and to have a shot at tickets with a rewards program. I mean O2 has presale access for their venues so Voda doing this is pretty smart.

 

Voda must have paid a pretty penny to get EE out of there.

No doubt they've negotiated some kind of ticket or experience giveaway/competition within their deal. Might need to be a Vodafone customer for that one...

[Harry49]

Exclusive tickets for their rewards members. Finally something worth winning. Usually a free coffee. Will keep eyes peeled every Friday now as a customer.

Yes, there was always an EE ticket competition.

Presumably whoever the “connectivity partner” is will provide mobile infrastructure that disproportionately favours their own network. So Vodafone it is. Anything is better than my experiences with GiffGaff.

I switched to Lebara (who use Vodafone) a few months back. Keep an eye on them, they regularly have bonkers deals. Currently on an introductory deal paying 94p a month for 6 months. Think it's 15gb data included. Coverage not quite as wide as EE, I do notice the odd black spot, usually in fairly remote areas but places where EE had been fine.

Obviously a business decision. Which network pays the most gets the gig. Or it could be that EE have decided they have taken the association with the festival as far as they want to.

7th largest telecoms group on the planet, apparently. Way ahead of BT Group (EE) in lowly 14th place

[MJP]

This is sort of surprising - it’s a massive decision and risk to change comms infrastructure supplier.

I wonder if EE backed out of it to focus on other things.

Don’t these contracts run in terms of spells … so just presume that the EE one has run it’s cause and that vodaphone have come in with a better offer
