Roaming Partners are decommissioning the 2G or 3G networks to free up mobile radio spectrum which can be used on both the 4G and 5G networks, providing more capacity and a better overall customer experience.

Normally you do not need to change your network when Roaming. Your handset will automatically be connected to the network that provides all the services with reliable coverage and quality.

If you find you are connected to a network with no service, please select a new network as follows-

Check that your “Data Roaming” and “Mobile Data” are switched on,

How to change the Mobile Network

• Go to the device guides on the Vodafone website - https://deviceguides.vodafone.ie

• Select your device manufacturer,

• Choose your handset,

• Enter “Select Network” or “Search Network” in the search box provided, where you will be presented with instructions to select a network. The exact menu option varies by device.

• Follow the instructions provided in the onscreen tutorial.

• Switch the automatic network selection option off.

• Perform a manual network search. This may take some time to present the list of
  available networks.

• Select the network to connect to and wait for the connection request to complete. After switching from automatic network selection to manual selection, you usually need to request the new network connection several times before it will work.

Note, some of the networks presented on the list of available networks may not provide Roaming Services to Vodafone Ireland customers and the connection
request may not be successful

• Go to the device guides on the Vodafone website -

  https://deviceguides.vodafone.ie

Roaming Voice and SMS services are currently provided using 2G and 3G networks.

If a country has closed their 2G network, Voice and SMS will be provided using the 3G network.

If a country has closed their 3G network, Voice and SMS will be provided using the 2G network.

Roaming Data services are provided using 2G, 3G, 4G or 5G depending on your handset type and your mobile plan.

Customers using older handset models that only have 2G/3G capability will not be able to use Data on 4G or 5G.

If a country has closed their 2G network, Data on older handsets will be provided on the 3G network.

If a country has closed their 3G network, Data on older handsets will be provided on the 2G network.

As Vodafone provides 4G coverage in over 180 countries and 5G in 25 countries customers on new handsets can continue to enjoy a reliable high-speed data experience.

There are a number of generations of mobile network 2G, 3G, 4G and now 5G and the quality of voice calls and mobile data speeds increases with each generation of mobile network.

When Roaming, the Voice and SMS services are provided using the 2G and 3G networks. We will be providing Voice and SMS services when Roaming using 4G and 5G networks at a future date.

2G and 3G networks have been around for a long time and operators around the world are now introducing services on the more recent 4G and 5G networks.

The mobile data speed that you experience will vary depending on the network generation your handset is connected to (2G, 3G, 4G or 5G) and your chosen plan. In practice this impacts how quickly you can send and receive information, like browsing, loading posts, listening to music, streaming videos, downloading/uploading files or making video calls.

Vodafone is working on delivering voice services over 4G (Voice over LTE) for customers when Roaming. If you are travelling in the US, you can connect to the Verizon network for 4G voice services on certain devices (see section “2G/3G Network closures in USA” for more detail). In other territories customers can continue to make and receive voice calls on 2G or 3G where available when Roaming. We will update customers when further voice over 4G services are available.
