Good Morning.....Anyone found the Add On. "VODAFONE VIDEO PASS" useful....I am a MOBILE vodafone customer and have a data plan. Cheers.

Just had a look at it. If you watch a lot of videos the scheme could be useful. As I understand it the benefit is unlimited data for streaming video for £7 a month. You still need say anNetflix subscription but at least you won't have to worry about using large amounts of data.

Three limitations to be aware of:

1 When EU roaming, limited to 5 GBytes a month, then uses your contract data allowance.

2 Only works for watching (e.g. video stream from Netlflix) on the device in which the SIM is installed. So, if using a Smart TV with a WiFi link to a hotspot on your smartphone (for example), the data stream is seen as "ordinary" data and comes out of your contract allowance. No problem watching with Video Pass on, for example, an iPad with the SIM card installed in the iPad, but you must connect to Netflix (or Amazon Prime etc) using the correct App downloaded from the App Store.

3 If using an iPad (as described above) you can stream the video to a TV by either using an Apple lightening connector to HDMI adaptor and an HDMI lead (and I have found this to work reliably) or using an AppleTV box (which always seems to give me trouble). You can also stream from an Android device (using a suitable USB to HDMI adaptor/lead), but currently this does not work for Netflix, who say they are working on rectifying this. Have not tried Amazon Prime from an Android device stream.

Will be interested to learn of other folk's experience of using Vodafone data passes.

Great rundown @Millcourt, thanks for that.
As we live in Spain getting value for money is going to be minimal.. however occasionally using it could be a benefit while in the UK.
