Just Ask Once

Vodafone has rolled out their new Just Ask Once customer service tool, aimed at simplifying customer support by ensuring only one agent handles a query from start to finish.

The goal of Just Ask Once is to remove the frustration of being passed between agents, waiting on hold and having to repeat information.

The new service is available to all residential and small business customers through the My Vodafone app, as well as via the Vodafone website and by phone. If a query can't be resolved immediately, the same agent will follow up with progress updates via the My Vodafone app until the issue is sorted.

In certain cases where a query is more complex, customers may be directed to a specialist team, though Vodafone says the process will be clearly explained, "... our teams will explain the process to you and let you know how to get in touch with a specialist team member over the phone to resolve your query. For example, if your query relates to complex technical support, specialist support, or home broadband premises/move queries, we will direct you to another team."

Vodafone have also reiterated their standard terms which state that if a customer's service is "materially degraded for an unreasonable period of time" they may be able to exit their contract without paying an early termination fee.

Rob Winterschladen, Consumer Director of VodafoneThree, said, "When it comes to customers, our ambition is simple: we want to be the best. We want to set the gold standard for customer service and that's why we're launching 'Just Ask Once'.

"'Just Ask Once' is based on a really simple principle: when a customer needs help, they ask us once, and we will sort it. Customers can simply and quickly message us through the My Vodafone app at any time and importantly, they'll only deal with one person until their query is sorted. There's no more waiting on hold, no transfers between agents, and no more repeating themselves - allowing customers to get on with their day, while we get on with solving their problem.

"If we can't resolve a query immediately, we'll proactively message the customer with updates until it is sorted, so they aren't left worrying or having to chase us. What's more, if we exhaust all avenues and can't provide the service we promised, then we will let them leave with no exit fee. 'Just Ask Once' will level-up customer care and give our customers the most convenient and reliable support in the market."

Customer service

This new service upgrade follows the merger of VodafoneThree at the end of May 2025, when Vodafone said "customer experience will be at the heart of VodafoneThree".

Improving customer services forms part of the major ambitions of the VodafoneThree merger, with the company planning to open two new customer care centres in Belfast and Sheffield within the first two years.

This move will bring 400 sales and customer services back to the UK, alongside existing call centres in Stoke and Glasgow.

The Just Ask Once service is being launched on the Vodafone brand, with the company positioning it as a major step forward in customer care.

Vodafone says Just Ask Once will set a new standard in customer service for the industry - aiming to resolve any query quickly and painlessly, with a dedicated advisor who stays in touch until the issue is resolved. If the service fails to meet expectations, customers will have the option to leave without penalty.

The initiative reflects a broader shift toward more human, responsive support in a telecoms sector increasingly dominated by automation - putting simplicity, transparency, and real accountability back at the heart of the customer experience.
