How to get Amazon Prime for free with Vodafone

Those looking for a new phone or SIM-only plan can get Amazon Prime for free on Vodafone Entertainment plans.

If you’re wondering, Vodafone bundles the entire Prime service with its plans – not just Prime Video as is the case withO2andEE. That means you’ll not only get access to Prime Video (which costs £5.99 on its own), but also free next-day delivery, early access to discounts, Amazon Prime Music, Twitch Prime (ie. Amazon Gaming), Prime Photos, and much, much more.See our full guide to Amazon Prime.

Right now, it’s one of the only ways of getting Prime for free outside of signing up for the30-day free trial. Otherwise, a Prime membership costs £7.99 per month or £79 a year. You can also use the method below to get Spotify Premium or YouTube Premium instead of Prime.

Once you have your new Entertainment plan, you should receive a text prompting you to set up the service. If you haven’t received the message, text ‘ENTERTAINMENT’ to97613. You will not be charged.

Alternatively, log in via theVodafone Entertainment offers page, where you’ll be prompted to enter your phone number. Once you do, Vodafone will send you a 6-digit PIN to login (don’t share this PIN with anyone as it allows access into your Vodafone account).

You should now be able to choose Amazon Prime from the list of services.

Keep in mind:once you choose Amazon Prime, you won’t be able to change it to another service.
