Why is Vodafone slowly doing away with top up cards when some other mobile networks seem to still have them. I know in the next year or 2 every network will only have E-top up or use your visa or credit card. Whats the reason for this.

What's the point the networks spending money printing vouchers?
And it's less convinient for the coustimer, getting all the silver stuff under your nails, and having to type it in when in a rush, and it's windy.
E-top-up better for everyone.

I agree with the comment about physical vouchers being useful for presents and so on. Although that said on most networks you can normally tie multiple E-Topup cards with just one account to achieve the same result.
Vodafone had stopped printing vouchers, the only ones left are the ones still in circulation.
Will every network end up stoping the Top Up Vouchers. Why do some shops say they have no Vouchers and not use the top-up machine to prints out a voucher code number and I see Vodafone is the only nextwork were you can till top up with £5 from an E-Top up. My girlfriend will soon be forced to get a E Top Up Card for her Vodafone. I found it hard the other day getting my girlfriend a £10 Voucher for her Vodafone as a birthday gift. I see on the 02 website that they still sell Vouchers but also some shops print out a Voucher code number but I have never seem shops do that on the Top Up machine.

- Debit/credit card
- E - TopUp card
- Some cash machines
- Some shops i.e. Sainsbury’s sell some thing called an E-Voucher. The till prints a voucher code out on a till receipt, which you can use exactly the same way as an old style voucher.
Personally, I think that using your credit / debit card is the easiest.
Virgin Mobile offers £5 vouchers and £5 e top up payments.
Thats fine but I only have Asda, Tesco and Safeway in my area. A Vodafone shop did open a few months ago at the other end of town from me. You cant use a Debit/credit card or a E - TopUp card to gave someone £10 on there mobile as a gift.

Whats the big thing about giving top up cards as a gift? You may as well give money or a gift voucher, these can both be used to purchase credit if the person then decides to.
Agreed, E-Top Up advantages far outweigh the disadvantage.
