I'm looking for the Vodafone NFC SIM. I read about this yesterday. What
it does is links up with an app and allows you to make payment through
your mobile. I have got an NFC handset and the app so now just need the
sim but there is none on their Free Sim website
https://freesim.vodafone.co.uk/ unless they are all NFC SIM Cards and
they just are not mentioning it?

NFC is a feature of the phone - what has the SIM got to do with it?

Some credit card companies will give you a sticker for your phone which
will enable you to authorize small payments, just like a contactless
credit card. Personally I avoid such systems as I would not want to
accidentally authorize someone else's purchase.

I suspect what they are giving you is a small contactless credit card to
stick on your phone.

This is what SIMs have got to do with it:

Some phones do indeed have the NFC as part of the phone, but sometimes
the NFC radio/aerial can be within the battery, the SD card, or the SIM
card.
