New Vodafone recharge cuts arrive: 8 euro effective and Giga Ricarica 20. Here are their features and from when they can be used
After the return of the standard 5 and 10 euro recharges, another novelty for Vodafone recharges is coming. Soon the 8 euro cut and the new Giga Ricarica 20 will be available. The sale will start on February 25, 2020 on the official website, in Vodafone points and in some circuits, including bars and tobacconists.
The 8 euro top-up will allow you to have 8 euros of actual credit so that you have the amount needed to support the expenses of your monthly phone plan. At the same time, you can use the Ricarica Giga 20 that will have different features and is designed especially for those who need more gigs per month for their data connection. Further novelties concern the recharge of 20 euros that can be performed only with PIN in clear text, a new method of recharge introduced by Vodafone in the last period.
New Vodafone recharges: what are the characteristics
From February 25, the Vodafone Recharge of 8 euros is born. It will be possible to top it up on the official website, in Vodafone’s physical points and in some of the circuit’s authorized stores such as tobacconists, bars or newsagents.
In addition to this, there is also the Giga Ricarica 20, which includes phone traffic of 19 euros and 1 gig of data traffic to be used in a month. Giga Ricarica 20 falls into the category of “special recharges” that have created so much debate in the last period. The reason for the discussion concerns the activation of a premium service at a cost of 1 or 2 euros. A service that in most cases is not useful to users,
The effective 20 euro top-up will still be active, which can only be done through the system with the PIN in plain text. You can buy it at authorized retailers and it works like scratch cards, that is the classic “scratch recharge”: if you want to buy the 20 euro recharge you will have to communicate it to the retailer who will offer a receipt with a 16-digit PIN to be used by calling the number 42010.
Vodafone recharge rates: what are they?
In light of these news let’s see what are all the possibilities of Vodafone recharge from February 25. First of all, it will be possible to take advantage of the so-called Giga Ricarica 5 that includes an effective traffic of 4 euros; Giga Ricarica 10 that includes 9 euros of phone traffic and Giga Ricarica 20 that provides an effective amount of 19 euros.
In these cases, the reduced euro will be used to activate additional gigs of data traffic valid for one month, which can also be used in roaming mode in Europe. These recharges are available in the “Ricarica” section of the website, in the My Vodafone app, in points of sale with the “Ricarica in Cassa” option in receivers and stores with Lottomatica Servizi systems and SisalPay points.
If you perform two Giga Ricarica in the same day, the gigas accumulate, if instead you perform Giga Ricarica on different days, the gigas of the second one will replace the remaining ones.
This type of recharge, however, has received harsh criticism from consumers and even a warning from the AGCOM, but Vodafone instead of eliminating this type of recharge, has reinserted the classic 5 and 10 euros effective. In addition to these, it is possible to top up from 20, 30, 50 and 100 euros. In addition, through the app, you can choose the top-up from a minimum of 5 to a maximum of 200 euros.
