Vodafone Call Pricing Overview
If you’re on a Vodafone mobile or home-phone tariff that includes landline minutes, calls to 01 and 02 numbers are usually free. When calls fall outside your allowance or if you’re using Pay As You Go, Vodafone applies its standard ‘out-of-bundle’ rates. As of April 2025, these out-of-bundle landline calls are typically charged at around 70p per minute on many mobile plans.
Vodafone’s Home Broadband & Phone tariffs work differently, with landline calls billed at 11.5p per minute plus a 19p connection charge. As Vodafone runs several different plan types, actual charges vary. So, it’s always sensible to check your plan details or use Vodafone’s Charge Checker tool.
Vodafone at-a-glance pricing: Calls to 01 numbers
| Plan / Situation | Connection Fee | Per-Min Rate | Notes |
| Home Broadband & Phone (outside allowance) | 19p | 11.5p | Applies to standard UK landlines. Daytime/evening rates unified. |
| Out-of-bundle (many mobile pay-monthly plans) | varies by plan | 70p | Vodafone’s April 2025 out-of-bundle landline rate. |
| Pay As You Go (no bundles) | none / low | varies | Check plan (PAYG structures differ). |
| Inclusive minutes | n/a | n/a | Calls are included if within your allowance. |
Why landline call costs vary
The cost of calling 01 and 02 numbers varies because the UK telecoms landscape continues to shift toward digital voice services and IP-based calling. As the 2027 PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) switch-off approaches, more providers are simplifying their plans and Vodafone is no exception. While inclusive-minutes bundles still exist, out-of-bundle charges now play a bigger role in mobile plans and legacy tariffs.
Ofcom continues regulating call-termination caps to maintain transparency, but differences between mobile, broadband and legacy packages mean customers may still see varying rates depending on their tariff. This is why checking your individual plan remains the only guaranteed way to know your precise call cost.
What this means for callers:
The key takeaway is simple: calls to 01 numbers are often free if you have inclusive minutes, but can become expensive if you go out-of-bundle. Keeping an eye on usage is important, as out-of-bundle costs on mobile plans can add up quickly.
