What are you looking for ?

The Vodafone 4G network.

This support article will give you key information on our 4G network, as compared with our 3G and 2G networks. 4G is the fourth generation of mobile network technology and offers improved mobile data speeds and higher quality voice calls than our 3G network.

How to access the 4G network.

To access the Vodafone’s 4G network, you’ll need:

  • A 4G compatible device.
  • A 4G compatible SIM.
  • To be in an area with 4G coverage.
 

When you’re on the 4G network, '4G' (otherwise known as 'LTE') will be displayed in the status bar of your screen next to the signal bars. If you have 4G switched on in your device’s network settings, it will automatically pick up the 4G signal. Where 4G isn’t available, or if the signal in your area isn’t strong enough, your device will automatically switch back to the 3G network.

How to check what network you’re using.

The best way to find what network you’re using is by checking the signal icon displayed in the status bar of your device. This is generally at the top of the screen next to your signal bars.

You can use our coverage checker to find what networks are available in your area.
