Does the Punkt MP02 work on Vodafone UK?
Yes, for now.
Works with caveatsCalls and texts can fall back to 2G. Vodafone's 2G is due to close in spring 2030. It supports 4G Calling, but we haven't found confirmation that it's enabled on Vodafone UK. 4G data should work (shared bands: 1, 3, 7, 8, 20).
It works today, but calls on the Punkt MP02 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.

- 4G Calling: yes – Punkt says MP02 supports VoLTE; the APHY v1.3.1 update (V03.02.0375) 'improves VoLTE functionality with certain carriers in the UK'. Owners on r/Punkt report mixed results by network.
The same applies to networks that run on Vodafone UK: VOXI, Lebara. Smaller networks sometimes handle 4G Calling differently, so check with them too.
