Data Rollover

How to roll over your data

With Data Rollover, you can save up to 200GB unused data each time you recharge on an eligible Prepaid Plus plan ($12, $35, $45, $55, $160, $250 and $320) before your recharge expires. Once you’ve reached the 200GB Data Rollover limit, unused data won’t be added to your Data Rollover.

If your eligible Prepaid Plus recharge expires, your unused data won’t be added to your Data Rollover, but any saved data in your Data Rollover will remain and will be available when you recharge or change to an eligible Prepaid Plus plan.

If you recharge on an ineligible plan, you’ll lose any data in your Data Rollover.

How to use data from your Data Rollover

Your eligible Prepaid Plus plan will automatically start using data from your Data Rollover once you’ve used all other data in your recharge. You must have an active recharge to use your Data Rollover. All data is for use in Oz.

What unused data gets rolled over?

The included data that comes with your plan, any Automatic Recharge bonus data, and any other data you may have on your recharge (including data from data add-ons or other bonus data offers) will get rolled over if unused before your next recharge.

For more information on rolling over your data, check out our Prepaid Plus support page .

My Data and infinite data explained

Once you've used your My Data, Data Bank and all other data, you can then keep using infinite data at speeds of up to 1.5Mbps until your recharge expires.

My Data is the included data in your recharge and is the fastest speed the Vodafone network can deliver to your phone at the time and place you’re using data.

With 1.5Mbps you can stream music and standard definition video, make a video call, browse the internet and catch up on social media but isn’t suitable for HD video. For more information of what you can and can’t do at 1.5Mbps, check out our speed guide.

Tethering permitted to personal devices only, but must not be used in a modem or as a substitute for a home internet service. Heavy data users may experience slower speeds than other users during busy periods. For personal use in Australia only.

Can I keep my number from another provider?

How do I activate my prepaid phone plan?

1. Leave your old SIM in your phone.

2. Find your activation key on the back of your prepaid starter pack.

3. Go to our activation page and follow the prompts.

What’s the difference between prepaid, postpaid and SIM Only plans?

- Prepaid: you pay upfront before using your plan. There's no lock-in contract, and you recharge as needed.

- Postpaid: you pay after using your plan, typically through a monthly bill. These plans often come with a contract or minimum term.

- SIM Only: refers to plans that don’t include a new device. You bring your own phone and can choose either a prepaid or postpaid option.

How do I recharge my prepaid plan?

- Online via express recharge

- In the My Vodafone app

- Send a text message to 1511 with a recharge keyword

- By calling 1511 from your Vodafone phone

How can I set up auto recharge on my plan?

You can turn on automatic recharge in a few easy ways:


- During activation: save your card or PayPal details when you activate your SIM.

- In My Vodafone app: go to payment preferences and choose your recharge settings.

- By text: send ‘ATR’ to 1263 from your Vodafone device.


You can change or cancel auto recharge anytime in the My Vodafone app.

How do I check my Vodafone prepaid balance?

Check your balance:


- In the My Vodafone app

- Online at My Vodafone

- By calling 1512 from your Vodafone phone

- Texting ‘BAL’ to 1511

Can I use eSIM with prepaid plans?

Absolutely. All Vodafone prepaid plans support eSIM for quick activation. Learn more about eSIM.

Prefer a physical SIM? That’s available too.

Can I get International roaming for a Vodafone prepaid plan?

Yes, Vodafone offers prepaid roaming add-ons for over 80 countries. Just purchase a roaming add-on, starting from only $5 per day. Check our prepaid roaming add-ons to see what’s available for your destinations.

What happens if I use all my data?

If you use all your included data, you’ll still stay connected with speeds up to 1.5Mbps – ideal for browsing, messaging and basic streaming.

Need more data or minutes? You can top up your plan with a prepaid add-on. Just text the relevant code to 1511 (you’ll find these on our prepaid add-ons page). Or use the My Vodafone app to recharge.

What’s the difference between a 7-day, 28-day, 185-day or 365-day Vodafone prepaid plan?

Each plan lasts for a different number of days from the time you recharge:

- 7-day plan: perfect for short-term needs or quick top-ups.

- 8-day plan: great for flexibility and frequent recharges.

- 185-day plan: good value for medium-term use.

- 365-day plan: best for long-term savings and low maintenance.

What are the ways I can pay my prepaid plan?

You can choose between multiple payment options including credit/debit card, PayPal, Google Pay, Apple Pay and Alipay. You can even pay in interest-free instalments with PayPal Pay in 4.

Can I contact emergency services using a BYO device?
