From 15 August 2026, we extended credit validity from 7 to 12 months. If you don't top up your credit within 1 month after it expires, your phone number will be cancelled. This means your number will be automatically cancelled 13 months after your last top-up. The new rules apply to your credit if your first top-up was made on or after 15 August 2026.
Credit on your Vodafone Card is active always for a period of 12 months after last charging or after buying, if you haven't charged.
The initial Extra Credit is valid for 45 days from SIM activation and you can use it for Vodafone services (you cannot pay for third party services such as SMS tickets).
After your credit expires, you still have a one-month period to renew your Vodafone Card.
If you do not top up your credit even after 13 months from the last top up or SIM activation, your phone number will be automatically cancelled due to inactivity.
