Does the Light Phone III work on Vodafone?
Yes, it works.
WorksLight's own compatibility checker says the Light Phone III will work with Vodafone in Germany (it lists Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone, O2 and 1&1; checked 23 Oct 2026). Light's spec sheet lists 4G and 5G only, so calls go over 4G Calling.
Calls, texts and data should all work with a Vodafone SIM.
