VODAFONE is extending its popular offering of free data to more customers around the country. Last month, the major mobile network 3 Vodafone is giving away a free data deal Credit: Alamy 3 People can get a free eSim for 7-days Credit: Getty Non-Vodafone customers in Belfast, Sheffield, Liverpool and Watford can now access the 'try before you buy' deal. The seven-day offer is open to people geo-located in the above cities and have eSim supported mobile phones. To get the deal, people need to scan a QR code found in the above cities or visit the Vodafone website to sign up online . From there , customers will need to install the eSIM through the My Vodafone App . vodafone eSIMs are digital SIMs that don't require a physical SIM card to be installed. Most modern smartphones support eSIMs, so you can have two SIM services running on your device simultaneously. Vodafone came up with the seven-day deal as a way to lure Brits to the network and lure them into switching if they experience first hand a performance boost. "As London's Best Network, we pride ourselves on connecting this great city to the people and things they love," said Rob Winterschladen, Consumer Director for Vodafone UK when the offer launched in London. Most read in Tech "We know how important it is for people is to stay connected, so they can work on the move, stream their favourite TV show or movie, or simply contact friends and family." Vodafone previously carried out a similar scheme for last year's Brits will always have mobile phone & internet signal at home after tech breakthrough that beats Elon Musk's Starlink It has been a big month for Vodafone who recently completed its £15billion mega-merger with rival Three UK and pledged to invest billions in infrastructure. The newly-created joint business VodafoneThree said the deal would create a 'new force in UK mobile'. It is now the biggest mobile phone network in the UK with around 27million customers. But the deal cuts the UK's four main network operators down to just three, with the new joint business competing with BT/EE and Virgin Media O2. The tie-up was first announced in 2023 but faced a probe by the competition watchdog, which was worried about the negative effect on consumers. The Competition and Markets Authority feared it could substantially reduce options for mobile customers and lead to higher bills. 3 The offer was first open to people in London only Credit: Getty

Planned for every Friday of July and August, the action is set to hit the tourism industry's peak summer season. Most read in News Travel Brit tourists should expect major disruptions as the unions intend to launch protests right outside the doors of hotels for maximum impact. Each of the scheduled walkouts and protests will be confirmed on June 16 when the dates are locked in place. Anti-tourist mob attacks holidaymakers with water guns as they vow Spain faces 'long hot summer' of protest carnage Despite the threat of the devastating strike, the manager of the local employers' association, Juan Pablo González, said they were "moderately optimistic" of making progress in the talks. Asked if they would be willing to make an exception to avoid a strike, he confirmed that "we limit everything to the table because that is how collective agreements are negotiated".

Ecotax: A tourist tax to fund public services and offset the environmental impact of mass tourism. Holiday rental regulation: Stricter controls on platforms like Airbnb and real estate speculation to keep housing affordable for residents. In Santa Cruz alone, Tenerife's capital, around 7,000 people were estimated to be on the streets by Spanish security forces. In Gran Canaria, around 3,000 people were estimated to be present.
