Access to Vodafone 5G+ will be gradually made available to all Vodafone customers using devices certified for the 5G Standalone network who have installed all necessary software updates.
Specifically, the devices that have already been certified are the Samsung Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra, and the Xiaomi 15, Xiaomi 15 Ultra, Xiaomi 15T, and Xiaomi 15T Pro.

Enhancing network efficiency with the phased phase-out of 2G in 2029
Vodafone Greece will proceed with the phased phase-out of its 2G network in the second half of 2029. The spectrum that will be freed up will be utilized for the further development of 4G and 5G SA networks and to deliver the optimal customer experience.
This transition marks the completion of a cycle that began in 1992 with one of the first two mobile network development licenses in Greece and continued on July 1, 1993, when Vodafone’s 2G network (formerly Panafon) was launched. The phase-out of Vodafone’s 2G network marks the country’s digital leap forward in mobile communications, paving the way for faster, smarter, and more reliable networks.
