The new store offers same day repairs, which can be fixed within the hour. Customers will even receive a free phone loan whilst they wait. This service is available to both Vodafone customers and people on other networks. All Repairhub fixes come with a 12-month warranty.

VOXI – VOXI by Vodafone, the UK’s first mobile offering dedicated to customers aged 29 and under has its own youth area where customers can enjoy ‘Endless Social Media’, and put their thumbs to the test with interactive games.
