Vodafone Roaming APN

Vodafone uses the same APN for both UK and international roaming: wap.vodafone.co.uk. You do not need to change your APN settings when travelling abroad on Vodafone. If data isn't working after enabling roaming, verify the APN is still set correctly:

APN: wap.vodafone.co.uk — works for UK mobile data and international roaming.

EU Roaming Policy — Vodafone

Vodafone's "Roam-Free" destinations include EU countries and many others. On eligible plans, your UK data is used at the same rate. Some plans charge a daily "Vodafone Roaming" fee. Check the My Vodafone app for your plan's terms.

⚠ Post-Brexit: UK mobile networks are not required to offer EU roaming as part of a standard plan. Always verify your plan's roaming terms in the carrier app before travelling to avoid unexpected charges.

Troubleshooting Vodafone Roaming

  1. Enable data roaming in Settings › Mobile Networks — it is often off by default.
  2. Restart your phone after arriving in the destination country to register on a local partner network.
  3. Toggle Aeroplane Mode on for 30 seconds then off to force a network re-scan.
  4. Check APN settings — verify APN is wap.vodafone.co.uk and hasn't been changed.
  5. Check your plan includes roaming for your destination — not all destinations are covered on all plans.
  6. Try manual network selection: Settings › Mobile Networks › Network Operators › select a partner carrier manually.
  7. Contact Vodafone support: 191 (free from Vodafone) or 0333 304 0191.
