Does the Alcatel 3080G work on Vodafone?

Q: Does the Alcatel 3080G work on Vodafone?

Works with caveats. Calls and texts can fall back to 2G. Vodafone ends 2G for customers in September 2028. It supports 4G Calling, but we haven't found confirmation that it's enabled on Vodafone. Its 4G bands aren't published, so we can't confirm 4G data.

Yes, for now.

Fine for now. The catch is how calls get through: if they ride on 2G or 3G, they stop when Vodafone switches that off.

We worked this out from the phone's published bands and Vodafone's own published network facts (see How we check). Nobody has confirmed it for this exact pairing yet.
