## Article

<p>Vodafone has run several promotions offering free Samsung Galaxy Buds with eligible smartphone purchases, but the claim process is handled through Samsung's own promotions portal rather than Vodafone's website. To claim, you typically need proof of purchase, your IMEI number, and you must submit within a specific window after buying. The steps below cover what you need to know based on how these promotions have worked.</p>

<h2>Are free Samsung earbuds from Vodafone still available?</h2>

<p>These promotions come and go. Vodafone UK has offered free Galaxy Buds with handsets including the Samsung Galaxy S10, S10 5G, S20 Plus, and S22 Ultra. Samsung's promotions site (samsungoffers.claims) has also advertised up to £100 cashback when buying an eligible Samsung smartphone alongside a connected device such as Buds, a tablet, watch, or PC from Vodafone.</p>

<p>If you were told by Vodafone at the point of sale that you qualify, that verbal confirmation matters. A number of Samsung Community users have reported difficulty finding the actual claim link afterwards, so keep your paperwork and act quickly.</p>

<h2>Who is eligible to claim?</h2>

<p>Eligibility has generally required all of the following:</p>

<ul>
  <li>Purchase of a qualifying Samsung handset (models have included the Galaxy S10, S20 Plus, and S22 Ultra).</li>
  <li>The handset must have been bought from an authorised retailer, with Vodafone named specifically in most promotions.</li>
  <li>The claim must be submitted within the required window, typically between 30 and 60 days from the date of purchase, according to Tech Advisor's coverage of the Galaxy S10 promotion.</li>
</ul>

<p>Upgrades and new contracts have both qualified in past promotions, but this varies. Check the specific terms attached to your offer at the time of purchase.</p>

<h2>What information do you need to make a claim?</h2>

<p>According to Tech Advisor, the claim process requires your date of purchase, your order details, and your IMEI number. You can find your IMEI by dialling *#06# on your handset or checking the original box.</p>

<p>Have your Vodafone order confirmation email ready. Some promotions have also required a copy of your receipt or a screenshot of the order confirmation page.</p>

<h2>How does the actual claim process work?</h2>

<p>The claim is processed through Samsung's promotions portal, not through Vodafone's website directly. Past promotions have worked like this:</p>

<ul>
  <li>Visit samsungoffers.claims and locate your specific promotion.</li>
  <li>Enter your purchase date, order reference, and IMEI number.</li>
  <li>Submit proof of purchase when prompted.</li>
  <li>Wait for a confirmation SMS or email containing a unique discount code.</li>
</ul>

<p>As one Boards.ie contributor described a Vodafone Ireland promotion: "Once you receive your code, follow the link in the SMS and use the unique discount code to redeem your free Samsung Galaxy Wireless Ear Buds."</p>

<h2>What if you cannot find the claim link?</h2>

<p>This is a common problem. Several users on the Samsung Community forum (eu.community.samsung.com) have reported being told by Vodafone they are eligible, then finding no obvious route to actually claim. If this happens:</p>

<ul>
  <li>Contact Vodafone customer services and ask them to confirm the promotion name and direct you to the correct Samsung portal.</li>
  <li>Search samsungoffers.claims directly using your handset model.</li>
  <li>If the promotion window has closed, ask Vodafone whether a goodwill gesture or alternative offer applies.</li>
</ul>

<p>Do not wait. The 30-to-60-day claim window passes faster than most people expect, and Samsung's promotions portals do not accept late submissions.</p>

<h2>Which earbuds models have been included?</h2>

<p>Past Vodafone promotions have included the original Galaxy Buds, Galaxy Buds Live, and Galaxy Buds2. The specific model on offer depends on the promotion running at the time of your purchase. Samsung does not allow substitutions between models, so you receive whichever pair was specified in the promotion terms, not your preferred choice.</p>

<p>If you are buying a Samsung handset from Vodafone in May 2026 and were promised free earbuds, ask the sales adviser to confirm the promotion reference number in writing before you leave the store or complete the online checkout.</p>
