When receiving calls on Vodafone Passport is it just the 75p connection you pay or do you have to pay a per min charge too?
It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!

    With Vodafone Passport just pay 75p connection charge per call, then chat away at your usual UK rate.
    It's free and easy to activate – just dial 5555 from your Vodafone phone.

  • I thought it was 69p Connection.

    and that is for the DURATION of the call. :D

    Yeah, read that, but that's about making a call it then mentions about receiving is made simple to and states the 75p connection charge, but doesn't mention whether or not any other fee in incurred on top of the 75p fee like it is with making the call, hence asking the question as their website is as clear as mud.

    Right, it's 75p connection mentioned on the site, so you are saying it's just the 75p I'll pay and then for up to 60 mins there is no further charge?

    There's no monthly charge for passport?

    Also as I'm on Vodafone Family, if someone in the UK who's part of the family list calls, then they will still get the call for free and I'll just pay the 75p connection fee?

    Anyone know if Vodafone are going to drop this option?

    No you pay 75p connection, and then on top of that you pay the normal UK per minute rate. The benefit is that you get charged per minute as if you were in the UK, instead of having to pay the abroad "roaming" rate.

    Yeah, that's for out-going calls - calls that I make.

    In the UK I don't pay to receive calls. When roaming you pay for receiving calls.

    What I want to find out is with Vodafone passport how much would it cost me to receive calls. Usually without passport it is 19p/min to receive calls. So is it with Passport 75p connection and then it's free or is it 75p connection and then 19p/min.

    As you can see it must be confusing as it seems to have confused you too.

    There will be no further charge for incoming calls, so long as your phone is logged on with a Vodafone or partner network. There's a list of countries and networks on the Vodafone website - basically, one network in each European country, plus a few others such as Australia, New Zealand.

    Many thanks, that was what I was hoping for.

    So someone calling me who's on my Vodafone family won't be charged to call me and all I'll be charged is the 75p connection?

    Noticed that now as long as you are in a country that offers Passport it doesn't matter which network you use, passport will work on all of them in the country.
