Does the Cat B35 work on Vodafone UK?

It works, with caveats.

Works with caveats

Calls and texts can fall back to 2G. Vodafone's 2G is due to close in spring 2030. We haven't found confirmation that 4G Calling works on Vodafone UK. 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 UK'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 UK's own published network facts (see How we check). Nobody has confirmed it for this exact pairing yet.

The same applies to networks that run on Vodafone UK: VOXI, Lebara. Smaller networks sometimes handle 4G Calling differently, so check with them too.
