Vodafone's Black Friday SIM deals: what its own page says today
We opened Vodafone's own Black Friday SIM only deals 2026 page on 10 November 2026. It currently says: "Our Black Friday SIM only sales are now over, but you can find great deals all year round." The same page also tells people who "can't wait until Black Friday" to look at current deals. Until Vodafone labels a current Black Friday SIM-only price, we won't present a year-round plan as one.
Quick answer: As of 10 November 2026, Vodafone's Black Friday SIM-only page says those sales are now over, while also pointing people who can't wait until Black Friday to current deals. We don't treat the year-round £26 unlimited plan as a Black Friday offer. That plan, on Vodafone's ordinary SIM-only page, rises to £28.50 in April 2027 and £31 in April 2028, so the true monthly cost from a November start is about £28.71 over 24 months.

What Vodafone says today
On Vodafone's Black Friday SIM-only page, the title is "Black Friday SIM only deals 2026" and the opening line is: "Our Black Friday SIM only sales are now over, but you can find great deals all year round." Further down, the same page says: "If you want a new SIM only plan and can't wait until Black Friday, here's what's on offer right now." We are quoting both lines, because they sit on the same page.
The main Vodafone Black Friday page is also titled "Black Friday deals 2026". When we opened it on 10 November 2026, it still said "Our 2025 Black Friday sales are now over, but you can still find great deals all year round across devices," and, lower down, "If you want a deal and can't wait until Black Friday, here's what's on offer right now." That mix of 2025 and 2026 wording is Vodafone's, not ours.
Current SIM-only prices (not a Black Friday offer)
For context only, Vodafone's ordinary SIM-only page said on 10 November 2026: "Unlimited data and EU roaming – just £26 a month. Save £312 with a 24-month plan. Increases to £28.50 on 1 April 2027 and £31 on 1 April 2028." Vodafone's legal text on the Black Friday pages says pay-monthly airtime and data plans rise by £2.50 each 1 April.
If you started a 24-month contract with a first bill in November 2026, that would be 5 months at £26, 12 months at £28.50 and 7 months at £31: £689 in total, or about £28.71 a month true cost. That is the year-round price, not a labelled Black Friday deal. Check the figure in your basket before you buy.
| Plan (24 months, as stated on Vodafone's SIM-only page) | Starting price | From April 2027 | From April 2028 | Total over 24 months | True monthly cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unlimited data and EU roaming | £26.00 | £28.50 | £31.00 | £689.00 | £28.71 |
Questions people ask
Has Vodafone published Black Friday SIM-only deals for 2026?
Its page titled "Black Friday SIM only deals 2026", which we opened on 10 November 2026, currently says: "Our Black Friday SIM only sales are now over, but you can find great deals all year round." The same page also tells people who "can't wait until Black Friday" to look at what's on offer right now. We quote both lines, and we don't treat the year-round prices as a labelled Black Friday offer.
What about the £26 unlimited plan?
That figure is on Vodafone's ordinary SIM-only page, not presented as a Black Friday price on the Black Friday SIM page we checked. Vodafone said: "Unlimited data and EU roaming – just £26 a month. Save £312 with a 24-month plan. Increases to £28.50 on 1 April 2027 and £31 on 1 April 2028." Over 24 months from a November 2026 start, that is 5 months at £26, 12 months at £28.50 and 7 months at £31, which is £689, or about £28.71 a month true cost. Check the price in your basket before you buy.
Does Vodafone still raise prices each April?
Yes. Vodafone's Black Friday legal text, as we read it on 10 November 2026, says pay-monthly airtime and data plans rise by £2.50 each 1 April.
What to do
- Don't rely on a "Black Friday" label if Vodafone's own SIM sale page says those sales are over. Compare the true monthly cost instead.
- If you hate April rises, look at SIMs that keep the same price for the whole contract.
- Switching is free: text PAC to 65075 to keep your number.
