October 8, 2026 – Operating with a vision of leading Türkiye’s digital transformation, Vodafone continues to offer exclusive benefits to children aged 16 and under and their families. With “Vodafone İlk Hattım,” the company addresses parents’ needs during the school year to stay in uninterrupted contact with their children, keep their usage under control, and provide them with a safe digital experience.

The İlk Hattım plans combine numerous benefits, including affordable tariff options, discounted devices, exclusive brand offers through Vodafone Happy, and the Find My Kids parental safety app. Parents who are Vodafone customers can receive 10 GB of mobile data per month for 12 months when purchasing a new postpaid line for their children. Customers who prefer a prepaid line can benefit from a special offer of 50 GB of free data on new prepaid lines during this period. The 50 GB gift package also includes unlimited WhatsApp usage. İlk Hattım customers can also access a variety of special offers from brands appealing to children through Vodafone Happy.

Meltem Bakiler Şahin, Deputy CEO of Vodafone Türkiye, said:

“Although Türkiye has not experienced a significant increase in its child population in recent years, digital adoption among children has been rising rapidly. Research shows that children across the country have high levels of access to the digital world, internet usage continues to increase, and technology is predominantly used for entertainment, education, and communication. This makes control, security, and appropriate guidance increasingly important in children’s digital experiences, while strengthening parents’ expectations for reliable, manageable, and child-friendly solutions.

“With ‘Vodafone İlk Hattım,’ which we developed in response to these findings, we address parents’ expectations of staying connected with their children, providing them with a safe digital experience, and keeping their usage under control. While parents remain connected with their children, children can enjoy their first digital experiences in a safe and controlled manner.

“In addition to the special tariffs and brand discounts we offer for the school year, we continue to make life easier for children and parents with our free usage limit protection feature and unlimited WhatsApp. Meanwhile, through the opportunities offered under Vodafone FLEX, we aim to become the first operator in Türkiye to take ownership of the children’s technology category. With this goal in mind, we continue to expand our ‘First Technology World for Children’ platform.”
