I receive the error message "You need to log in to use this feature" when trying to log into My Vodafone. What should I do?

If you receive the error message "You need to log in to use this feature" when trying to log into My Vodafone, it could be that this is caused by corrupt temporary internet files, also known as "cookies". When these files are deleted you should be able to log into the site successfully if you use the correct username and password.

To delete cookies, please perform the below instructions (note some IE/browser versions may differ). At the top of your Internet Explorer, click on Tools, then Internet Options.

In the Internet Options dialogue box, click on General tab, under Temporary Internet files, click on the Settings button. In the Settings dialogue box, click on "Edit" then "Select All" from the drop down menu.

Once all temporary internet files are highlighted, press delete on your keyboard. When they are all deleted, just close the window and the two dialogue boxes and close Internet Explorer. When you open a new Internet Explorer window you should be able to log in.
