Vodafone Travel

I bought a Vodafone SIM for my trip to Egypt, thinking it would be a reliable choice given the company’s reputation and extensive infrastructure there. I couldn’t have been more wrong. It was, without exaggeration, the worst mobile service I’ve ever experienced. About 90% of the time I had no data connection at all, and when I did, the speeds were so slow that the internet was practically unusable. The breaking point came when I urgently needed internet access and the Vodafone SIM simply wouldn’t work. I turned it off and switched to Verizon’s international roaming instead. Ironically, my phone still connected to Vodafone’s towers—but this time the internet was blazing fast. It felt like a completely different network and was easily worth Verizon’s $12/day roaming charge. That experience left me wondering: is Vodafone’s prepaid SIM service just that bad? Because after this trip, I wouldn’t use it again even if it were free.

I didn’t read the reviews first like an idiot, but this service is not worth it. Simple trip to London, and this barely worked. Terrible and mostly non-existent coverage had me spending half my first few days looking for WiFi networks just to do basic things on my phone. Switched to Saily and it’s been working like a charm. Believe the reviews.

somehow my info provided to Vodafone was available to all spammers. this was the only app I installed in months to get ready for my trip and <6 hrs later I had 500+ spam emails and hundreds of spam messages on my phone. and they keep coming. I literally had none of this happening before last night
