Vodafone is dishing out the freebie for a limited time, starting today.
It’s all within the provider’s VeryMe reward programme, which customers can find in the Vodafone app.
The voucher can be exchanged for a pack of ice creams or ice lollies in Sainsbury’s.
It’s worth up to £2 – so depending on the cost of the treat you fancy this can cover the entire cost or be used to knock some money off.
Only 80,000 codes are available, until midnight on Monday, so you’ll have to move fast to claims yours.
The voucher can only be used in store and not for purchases via the Sainsbury’s Groceries app, over the phone nor at Sainbury’s petrol stations.
Vodafone’s latest offer comes less than two weeks after the firm announced a big change affecting millions of customers.
The network’s merger with Three has been finalised meaning there will be a boost for everyone over the coming months.
Three and its budget sub-brand SMARTY will receive a 20 per cent average speed uplift on 4G soon.
And within a few months, 27million mobile subscribers across both Vodafone and Three will start to benefit from better signal with shared access across both networks at no extra cost, the new joint VodafoneThree firm claims.
This will eradicate dreaded “not spots” from 16,500 sq/km of the country – the equivalent to 10x the size of London.
Both brands are to remain separate with their own offers and products despite sharing network resources going forward.
How to keep cool in a heatwave
Most of us welcome hot weather, but when it’s too hot, there are health risks. Here are three ways to keep cool according to the NHS…
Keep out of the heat if you can.
If you have to go outside, stay in the shade especially between 11am and 3pm, wear sunscreen, a hat and light clothes, and avoid exercise or activity that makes you hotter.
Cool yourself down.
Have cold food and drinks, avoid alcohol, caffeine and hot drinks, and have a cool shower or put cool water on your skin or clothes.
Keep your living space cool.
Close windows during the day and open them at night when the temperature outside has gone down. Electric fans can help if the temperature is below 35 degrees. Check the temperature of rooms, especially where people at higher risk live and sleep.
