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.
