Does the Cat B35 work on Vodafone?
It works, with caveats.
Works with caveatsCalls and texts can fall back to 2G. Vodafone ends 2G for customers in September 2028. We haven't found confirmation that 4G Calling works on Vodafone. 4G data should work (shared bands: 1, 3, 7, 8, 20).
It works today, but calls on the Cat B35 rely on a part of Vodafone's network with a switch-off on the way. Check the dates below before you commit for years.
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.
