Does the emporia SIMPLICITY-LTE work on Vodafone?

Last checked 23 Oct 20264 sourcesWorked out from published specs

Yes, it works.

Works

Calls and texts work over 2G, which Vodafone keeps running with no switch-off date announced, and 4G data should work (shared bands: 1, 3, 20).

Nothing on Vodafone's published plans affects this pairing right now.

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.

Vodafone (Ireland)

  • 3G: Switched off (October 2024)
  • 2G: On; no Irish operator has announced a 2G switch-off

emporia SIMPLICITY-LTE

  • 2G: GSM 900 / 1800 (emporia manual)
  • 3G: 900 MHz, 2100 MHz
  • 4G bands: 1, 3, 7, 8, 20
  • 4G Calling: unknown – emporia's manual lists the 4G bands but doesn't mention VoLTE, and we haven't found it on a network's VoLTE list.

The same applies to networks that run on Vodafone: Clear Mobile, An Post Mobile. Smaller networks sometimes handle 4G Calling differently, so check with them too.
