VOXI review: is VOXI any good in 2025?

Our VOXI Mobile review in summary

VOXI’s SIM-only plans are simple, but their reasonable prices, generous amounts of data and flexibility make them a great bet for anyone who prefers to own their phone separately from their data, calls and texts contract.

The big draw is its Unlimited social media, where social media apps don’t count towards your data allowance. That means Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Pinterest and WhatsApp are yours to use as much as you like.

There's also Unlimited Music, which lets you use the likes of Spotify and Apple Music without using up your data allowance. And the top plans even come with Unlimited Video, so you can stream YouTube, TikTok, Netflix and other video apps on the go, without eating up any data.

Throw in unlimited tethering – in which you can use your endless social media or video allowances on another phone, tablet or laptop – and it’s clear that VOXI is really good value for money.

That’s not to say it's perfect. You can buy phones from VOXI, but you have to do so using PayPal credit.

That does at least mean the phone is yours and you can switch it to another network at any time – but if you want an overall package that has enticements like free music or video streaming, then you should look elsewhere.

And VOXI has reintroduced roaming charges in the EU, so you'll need to pay extra to use your phone in European destinations.

VOXI Mobile SIM-only plans

VOXI SIM-only plans are as straightforward as it gets.

There are five to choose from, each with unlimited calls and texts and data-free use of social media.

And they're all 5G-ready too, so you can use lightning fast connections if you have a 5G-compatible phone.

At the time of writing, here's what's on offer:

• 15GB data and Unlimited Social: £10 per month
• 20GB data and Unlimited Social + Music: £12 per month
• 30GB data and Unlimited Social + Music + Video: £15 per month
• 100GB data and Unlimited Social + Music + Video: £20 per month
• Unlimited Data: £30 per month

Look out for offers at key times of year, such as Black Friday. Not to mention, VOXI often runs 'Double data' and 'Triple data' deals on select plans, which gives you 2x and 3x the data for the price you pay.

All plans are 30-day rolling contracts that can be cancelled anytime.

VOXI Mobile phone contract plans

VOXI offers the latest devices from Apple, Samsung and Google with no upfront cost, with the price of the handset spread over 30 months.

However, VOXI phone contracts are actually PayPal Credit plans, with the best smartphones on the market available, including affordable, refurbished handsets.

That said, these deals are merely facilitated by VOXI.

That does mean you don’t have to have a VOXI SIM-only plan to use them, but if you want a contract that puts everything together in one place, you’re better off using a major provider.

Although VOXI's draw of unlimited social media and streaming is very appealing, you can often find similar incentives with a pay-monthly contract from a big-name network.

VOXI Mobile coverage

VOXI is part of Vodafone, meaning you’ll be able to get 4G coverage across 99% of the UK, as well as an ever-expanding 5G network.

But, it always pays to use VOXI’s mobile coverage checker to see whether its network will work in your area. If 5G is available in your location, you'll be able to take advantage of these top speeds with a VOXI SIM – as long as your phone is 5G ready, too.

VOXI Mobile roaming

Unfortunately, VOXI has reintroduced roaming charges in the EU. So, you'll now need to pay extra to use your phone in Europe.

You have the option to buy a one-day European Roaming Pass for £2.25, two days for £4, or bring that daily cost down with eight days for £10 or 15 days for £15. This allows you to either use your UK data allowance, or a 20GB fair usage cap – whichever is the least.

On the plus side, VOXI also has a couple of plans for international roaming: its Global Roaming Extras. For either £15 for 8 days or £25 for 15 days, you can get a set amount of minutes, texts and data to use in international locations. Though allowances aren't so generous, it's good that there's even the option to roam internationally, as most budget networks don't offer this at all.

Just be aware that Unlimited Social, Unlimited Music and Unlimited Video are not available outside the UK.

VOXI Mobile customer service

VOXI does not have a customer service team at the end of the phone. However, it does have decent webchat and social teams that can help, plus a comprehensive FAQ section on its website.

Be aware that VOXI is part of Vodafone, which came out poorly in Ofcom's 2023 report on mobile customer satisfaction.

VOXI Mobile stores and offline experience

VOXI does not have high street stores. Its offering is solely online. If you’re happy trying to fix issues online, then this isn’t a deal breaker.

But if you want one-to-one help in person, then you might be better off signing up with a major network.

VOXI's Mobile deals and incentives

VOXI’s incentives extend to the occasional gift card or some money off around key events, like Black Friday. It also runs 'Double data' and 'Triple data' promotions on certain plans, so it's worth looking out for them.

The main enticements here are the low monthly costs, flexible 30-day plans, endless tethering, plus – of course – its unlimited, data-free access to social media and streaming. If you love Facebook, Instagram et al, or you often stream media on the go, then VOXI is definitely a winner.

VOXI Mobile pricing

It’s hard to find better bang for your buck than with VOXI. They're uniformly excellent value for money, especially when you factor in the fact that you get zero-data use of social media, ample data allowances and unlimited tethering.

Some budget-minded networks do offer SIM plans at a similar price point (or cheaper); if you don't require a large amount of data, you can certainly find SIM plans with a few GB of data for around £5 a month.

But you'd be hard-pressed to find the sheer amount of data for the same monthly outlay – especially on a 30-day rolling contract. The likes of iD Mobile and SMARTY also offer a lot of data at very competitive prices, but no small network has the same unlimited social media and streaming app usage as VOXI.

How does VOXI mobile compare against other networks?

VOXI might not be as comprehensive as big names like Three, Vodafone, O2 or EE. But it stands out from the pack thanks to keeping things simple.

There is nothing confusing here. No upgrade plans that require you to read endless small print. No money off extras that can see your bill rise after six months. Just straightforward monthly plans with generous data allowances, which you can easily change or cancel at any time.

Unlimited tethering is also an excellent addition, especially for those who don’t want separate plans to stream on a tablet or laptop when out and about. And that way, you can make the most out of your Unlimited Social Media (and Music and Video, if you have that), as you can use your plan's allowances while tethering.

Few other networks can match VOXI in this regard.
