I used free mobile service that instantly boosted my 5G signal – plus I get Disney+ at no extra cost and Prime for £1
CHANCES are you've stuck to the same mobile network for donkey's years and not bothered to switch. The process is a hassle and you don't really know whether what you're switching to is any better. 5 My 5G has improved massively Credit: Getty 5 Vodafone trial allowed me to get much better 5G in the areas that matter to me Credit: Alamy But some providers have come up with a clever idea to give you a Vodafone started it last year at the Glastonbury Festival and have been doing it at other events and locations too. Three Mobile has been doing the same. I've had several frustrations with my provider, O2, for years - notably, seeing full bars of 5G on my iPhone and web pages just not loading. Read more about mobiles The final straw was when I left work a few weeks ago and Citymapper just wouldn't load to show my bus times, meaning I was late meeting a friend. In the end, I had to go back into the office to use Wi-Fi instead. I remembered Vodafone had just introduced its free network trial in London so I decided to give it ago. I loved O2 for price, O2 Priority perks and roaming but I realised the network didn't really deliver in the places I needed it to - around work, on my train route and crucially near my new home. Most read in Tech Of course, network coverage varies from place to place, and I'm sure O2 performs better in some areas of the country. But for me, it's not really delivering so trying Vodafone seemed like a good way to go before making any big decisions. Apple interview with Greg Joz Joswiak on new artificial intelligence, screening, hold assist, carplay, liquid glass and ios updates Belfast, Sheffield, Liverpool and Watford are the latest areas where Vodafone is offering the trial to anyone. You can scan QR codes around these places to take advantage or you can simply visit Vodafone's It'll load onto your phone as a second eSIM and works instantly after about five minutes of setting up. This means your existing phone number will continue to work as normal with your existing provider. Just be sure to set the Vodafone SIM as the main source of data so you can really see whether it's better than your existing provider. You should be able to do this during set-up but if you miss it you can adjust after in your phone's settings. The trial provides you with seven days of completely free 50GB data, 500 minutes and 500 texts. And, if like me, you like what you got then you can make the jump and switch completely in the usual way. I found a good offer for Vodafone via that included cashback as well so that my monthly costs overall haven't gone up. EXTRA OFFERS AND FREEBIES As well as getting better 5G in the areas that matter to me, Vodafone also has its own selection of offers and freebies with VeryMe Rewards. I will miss O2 Priority, especially the ability to get concert tickets early. But Vodafone VeryMe has a lot of great offers on rotation. I was able to get hold of Disney+ for free for three months. And you can get The other perk from O2 that I'll miss is the free roaming across Europe whenever I'm on holiday. Vodafone does have an eight day roaming pass for £15 or 15 day pass for £20 but I managed to find separate eSIM providers online that were much cheaper. All prices in this article were correct at the time of writing, but may have since changed. Always do your own research before making any purchase. 5 Vodafone recently gave out free access to Disney+ with VeryMe Credit: Getty 5 You can also get Prime for £1 Credit: Alamy 5 5G coverage issues are a lot rarer for me now Credit: Getty

Major mobile network is giving customers FREE access to Disney+ – check your account now before it's gone
DISNEY+ fans can now bag three months of the streaming service completely free – but the deal won't be around for long. The offer is being handed out by Vodafone to eligible customers across the UK via the VeryMe Rewards app. 2 It runs from 5 June 2025 until 8 June 2025, so you've only got a short window to grab it. To claim it, open the My Vodafone app on your smartphone, head to the VeryMe Rewards section, and tap on the Disney+ banner if it's available to you. Hit 'Claim' and follow the steps to activate your free 3-month subscription to Disney+ Standard with Ads. The offer is open to new and returning Disney+ subscribers aged 18 or over. There's no catch – you'll get full access to Disney+ content with ads, and you can cancel at any time. If you don't cancel after three months, you'll be charged £4.99 per month starting automatically. The Disney+ Standard with Ads plan includes everything from classic Disney favourites to Marvel blockbusters and exclusive original series. You can stream on up to two devices at once in Full HD quality. Featured on the platform is The Stolen Girl, a gripping mystery about the kidnapping of nine-year-old Lucia following a sleepover at her friend's house. Other titles available include Flintoff, the raw documentary on the sporting icon, Good American Family, a chilling true-life adoption tale, and The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Also on offer is Dying for Sex, a heartbreakingly funny FX series that's been getting rave reviews. All are included in the standard plan, so you won't miss out on any content. Only one subscription can be claimed per user, and you'll need to check your VeryMe Rewards to see if you qualify. If you're already paying for Disney+, you'll need to cancel and wait until your billing period ends before you can resubscribe and use the offer – if eligible. This comes just as Disney+ prepares to raise its prices. From 24 March, the Premium annual plan went from £79.90 to £109.90, and monthly Premium jumped from £7.99 to £10.99. The cheaper ad-supported tier now costs £4.99 a month – the same as Vodafone's offer once the trial ends. But Vodafone isn't the only way to watch without paying. Selected Samsung phones, tablets and laptops come with either six or twelve months of Disney+ Standard. The perk applies to devices bought recently and some older models too. Check your eligibility on Samsung's Boost page. Join or upgrade to Uber One's annual subscription, and you may receive an email offering 12 months of Disney+ Standard. It's worth checking your inbox or app notifications if you're a subscriber. If you bank with Lloyds and have a Club Lloyds account, you can choose a Disney+ subscription as your free yearly lifestyle benefit. It's easy to activate through your online banking or app. With rising streaming costs, these hidden perks could save you more than £100 a year. If you're already paying for Disney+, it might be time to cancel, check your subscriptions, and claim a free one through your network, bank or tech provider. SUBSCRIPTION TRICK – SAVE HUNDREDS! Once you've checked your subscription renewals, try the swap trick too... Here's a clever method from The Sun's tech editor Sean Keach: Look, streaming bills are a nightmare. Especially when it comes to TV. There are loads of services – all packed with top telly – that demand your cash. So consider rotating them instead. Cancel all of them but, say, Disney+, then watch that for a month. Now bin it, and move on to Netflix, and enjoy that content library. Then scrap that, and swap to Amazon's Prime Video for the third month. Once you're done (or you've added a fourth service to your mix), start over from the beginning. It means you get to watch all of the top TV shows and movies on these services without paying for a full 12 months for each. You'll save hundreds over a year. Picture Credit: Sean Keach 2
