This Agreement begins upon your purchase or receipt of a Connection Pack or when your Prepay Account is activated when switching your Mobile Phone Number from On Account to Prepay.

3. Coverage and Services.
(a) While we will do our best to provide quality Services, because of the nature of mobile telecommunications it is impossible to provide a fault-free service and the quality and coverage of the Services depends partly on your Mobile Device, partly on our network and partly on other providers and telecommunications networks to which our network is connected or connects.

(b) Coverage and Services can be adversely affected by radio interference, atmospheric conditions, geographic factors, network congestion, maintenance, outages on other networks’ and providers’ sites or other operational or technical difficulties, which means that you may not receive some or all of the Services in certain areas or at certain times. Coverage and Services can also change with network expansion or reconfiguration.

(c) The integrity or quality of the data or information you send or receive via the Services (including PXT or other files) may be affected or compromised due to the configuration of our network, the use of the internet, or the configuration or limitations of your, or your intended recipient's, Mobile Device or other device.

(d) You may not make 0900 calls, collect calls, special number calls, or any calls where charges are not immediately available.

4. Using our Services.
(a) Subject to the Services you have subscribed for, you may make local, national and international calls, send TXT messages, use data and access Voicemail and other Services.

(b) Voice messaging is part of the Services we provide. You are responsible for changing the PIN from the preset number and setting your own PIN access for the Voicemail service and keeping that information confidential. You are responsible for all access into and out of the Voicemail service and for any charges incurred as a result, whether or not you reset the PIN access. In the interests of others, we must limit the number and duration of messages that can be left on your Voicemail service. You are also responsible for setting your own password(s) for access to any email services made available to you through the Services and for keeping that information confidential.

(c) The Services may be changed, modified, advanced, suspended or removed by us. If any of our new Services require new or upgraded Mobile Devices or equipment, you will be responsible for obtaining that new or upgraded Mobile Device or equipment.

(d) You agree to follow our instructions about the use of the Services and ensure that everyone you are responsible for also meets your responsibilities when using your Mobile Device. You agree to keep us protected against any legal action taken against us and to meet any losses (including solicitor-client costs) we may incur as a result of such use of the Services. You are responsible if anyone else, whether authorised by you or not, uses or misuses your Mobile Device or our Services provided pursuant to your subscription.

(e) You agree not to use your Mobile Device or the Services for any abusive, illegal or fraudulent purpose.

(f) You acknowledge that we do not support Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) and that we can provide no assurance that currently available access levels may be maintained.

(g) We can require you to stop using any SIM card or Mobile Device immediately if we believe that it could cause any interference, you have used it to spam other users, or if it is not approved by us for use on our network or in connection with any of our Services. You must not use any Mobile Device which masks or in any way alters the true origination or termination of any call or other transmission.

(h) Using or agreeing to use the Services does not give you any rights in any part of the Services. You must not resell or resupply, in any way whatsoever, the whole or any part of the Services.

(i) You agree that if you do not use the Services in accordance with this Agreement we may restrict or suspend your use of the Services in accordance with paragraph 17.

5. Fair Use Policy.
All our Services are subject to the Fair Use Policy, which can be found on our Website.

6. Roaming.
(a) You can use your Mobile Device in other countries where connectivity is available. We call this "roaming". For a list of the countries in which you can use roaming Services, please visit our Website.

(b) Some of the countries in which you can use roaming Services are what we call AutoRoaming Countries. This is because you can use roaming Services in those countries without prior application or doing anything else, unlike those countries which are not AutoRoaming Countries. For a list of current AutoRoaming Countries and applicable Vodafone Service charges, please visit our Website.

(c) If you use roaming Services in any of the AutoRoaming Countries, your Prepay Account will be debited with all roaming charges incurred.

(d) If you would like the ability to use your Mobile Device in any other country (i.e. not an AutoRoaming Country) then you will need to visit a Vodafone store, or our Website, to apply. Your request for this will be subject to you meeting our credit criteria. A set up fee may apply. We may also ask you to pay a non-interest bearing deposit and roaming on Prepay may be limited to a specific period of time. All charges incurred in relation to your Mobile Device or SIMcard in any of these non AutoRoaming Countries (as well as any AutoRoaming Countries also visited) will be deducted from your nominated credit card (if your application is accepted by us) and/or from your Prepay Account, at our option.

(e) The terms and conditions on which you may use overseas networks will depend on the country you are visiting. The terms and conditions of those other Network Operators will apply in addition to ours. Please see our Roaming Terms and Conditions for Prepay customers displayed on our Website for more details.

7. Security.
(a) You must keep your Mobile Device and SIM card secure at all times. We recommend that you use a PIN and other access code features provided with your Mobile Device, the SIM card, or the Services, to ensure that only you are able to access and use the Services, and no one else. You must keep all such PIN codes confidential at all times.

(b) If your Mobile Device or SIM card becomes lost or stolen, or is otherwise not in your possession you must contact Customer Services immediately so that we can prevent further calls being made from it or other charges being incurred. This is important as all charges for calls made, messages or other content sent, or Services accessed using that SIM card or your Voicemail will be debited from your Prepay Account up to the time you advise us of its loss or theft. We are not liable for any loss to you as a result of the loss of, theft of, damage to, or unauthorised use of, your Mobile Device or SIM card.

(c) Some Services are available via the internet or other systems operated by third parties and, although we will endeavour to maintain the security of information, we cannot guarantee that information you receive or supply when using the Services will be secure at all times. You acknowledge that we are unable to exercise control over, and make no representations or warranties concerning, the security or content of data or information passing over our network, any systems operated by third parties, and the internet.

(d) If the PIN request function is activated on your Mobile Device and the PIN is entered incorrectly three times in a row, the SIM card will automatically block. To unblock the SIM card you will need the PUK code. If you continue to block your Mobile Device by incorrectly entering the PIN you may destroy the SIM card and lose names, numbers and other details stored on the SIM card. You will then be required to purchase a new SIM card which comes with a new PUK code.

(e) We will not be responsible for any harm you suffer from a virus or other manipulating program which infiltrates your Mobile Device, whether it was transmitted via the Services or otherwise. In accordance with paragraph 7(b) you remain responsible for all charges for the use of any services activated by such a virus or program.

8. Charges and Billing.
(a) Charges for Services are set out in the Pricing Plans. We can vary these charges from time to time and will notify you in accordance with paragraph 20. We reserve the right to charge you a reasonable fee if you request information about your Services.

(b) Payments on your Prepay Account remain available for use for 365 days after the date of Activation or Payment or other timeframe specified in the terms and conditions for that plan (credit expiry period’). You must make a Payment of at least $20 at least once during each credit expiry period. Any unused balance on your Prepay Account at the end of the credit expiry period is forfeited unless another Payment is made within the applicable period.

(c) You may choose to change from one Pricing Plan to another Pricing Plan where permitted. A plan transfer fee may apply. If you move between Pricing Plans, any credit in your Prepay Account will be transferred and will remain available until the end of the relevant credit expiry period after your last Payment. If the time period for credit expiry is different on the Pricing Plan you transfer to, the credit expiry period for the new Pricing Plan will apply. This may mean that you may lose credit if the new credit expiry period has passed at the time of transfer.

(d) You should note that bonuses or other benefits under a Pricing Plan may not be transferable to another Pricing Plan. It is your responsibility to check what, if any, special terms and conditions there may be for your chosen Pricing Plan or if there is any fee for changing your Pricing Plan.

(e) No bill will be issued for your use of Prepay Services.

(f) Each call you make is charged at the rate which is applied when the call commenced (unless otherwise specified in any applicable Pricing Plan or offer). We will not be liable for any loss you suffer as a result of your assumption that a particular number is on a particular network (eg that an 021 number is held by a Vodafone customer).

(g) Calls are charged at one minute intervals. By way of example, if your call was for 1 minute and 40 seconds, you will be charged for 2 minutes.

(h) TXT messages may be limited to a certain number of characters as advised on our website from time to time. If you send a TXT that exceeds the maximum number of characters permitted per TXT, your TXT message will be sent as two or more TXTs and you will be charged the applicable TXT charge for each separate TXT sent.

(i) You can make payments of specified amounts to your Prepay Account. Your ability to make calls (except 111, 0800) will cease when the credit on your Prepay Account is zero, or has expired even if you are on a call. However, you will still be able to use any Add-On until it expires on its renewal date, even though your Prepay Account balance is zero.

(j) We reserve the right to change or remove the method by which you make Payments at any time.

(k) We are not responsible for any Services being cut off where your monetary credit has been used up.

(l) Calls to 123 and any other service number for other Network Operators will be charged. Calls to 701 and genuine calls to 111 are free.

(m) Calls to access your Voicemail service will be charged (other than those to set up your Voicemail box).

(n) If you lose or damage your SIM card you will need to purchase a new SIM card or a new Connection Pack. Any unused monetary credit or Add-On Allowance in your Prepay Account will be lost. A new Connection Pack will have a new number.

(o) All monetary credit on your Prepay Account is specific to your SIMcard and is non-transferable to any other Prepay Account or SIMcard.

(p) If you wish to use your Prepay Mobile Device as an On-Account Customer or with another Mobile Service Provider, a charge may apply to modify the Mobile Device and/or SIM card for On-Account use or for use with another Mobile Service Provider.

(q) If you need technical support or administration services we may charge you for this. We will give you an estimate of the costs so you can decide whether or not to proceed. You must tell us that you accept any charges before we will supply the technical support or administration services.

(r) If you use the roaming Services then you will incur all or any of the following charges from the Network Operator(s) in the relevant roaming country, in addition to our charges:

  • charges for connection to their network.
  • charges for calls and other messages sent or received by your Mobile Device or SIM card, at rates determined by the Network Operator; and
  • any other charges which the Network Operator(s) may impose from time to time for using their services.

Please note that:

  • minute or other entitlements and Add-Ons which may come with your Pricing Plan will not apply when roaming; and
  • the above roaming charges will vary from Network Operator to Network Operator and will change from time to time. Please visit our Website for further information.

9. Add-Ons.
(a) Some Pricing Plans may offer Add-Ons. These are additional entitlements or allowances specific to a Pricing Plan that you may elect to purchase from time to time, Any terms specific to those Add-Ons form part of this Agreement.

(b) Add-Ons are charged at the time of subscription and may renew periodically (at a period set out in the terms and conditions relating to that Pricing plan, or Add On) either while you have sufficient credit balance in your Prepay Account or until cancelled.

(c) For Add-Ons that renew each calendar month, if you purchase an Add-On on the 29th, 30th, or 31st and the following month does not have that date in it, your renewal date will be moved, and will continue to renew on the date that it has been moved to. For example if you purchase an Add-On on 31st August, it will renew on 30th of each month thereafter.

(d) If you have insufficient credit balance in your Prepay Account at the time any Add-On is due to renew, the Add-On will be placed on hold from the date it was to renew.

You cannot use your Add-On, or change the set up of the Add-On, while it is on hold. The Add-On will be automatically reactivated and deducted from your Prepay Account when you make a Payment, provided your Payment is sufficient to cover any outstanding IOUs and other Add-Ons you subscribe to or have on hold. If your Add On is only due to go on hold for 14 days, and you do not make a sufficient Payment during this time, your Add-On will be removed from your Prepay Account after the expiry of the 14 days.

(e) Any entitlement under an Add-On which is unused at the end of the specified Add On period will be forfeited.
