VODAFONE UK UNVEILS ENHANCED MOBILE BROADBAND SERVICE
· Data roaming at the equivalent of 20p per Mb abroad
· £15 monthly promotional access for Mobile Broadband customers for life
· Access to a high-quality, fast data network on award-winning modems
From February 4, 2008 Vodafone UK is broadening the appeal of high-quality Mobile Broadband, by introducing an enhanced Mobile Broadband service for both consumer and business customers. This service will provide better value, greater certainty on pricing, including out-of-bundle charges and data roaming, confidence of use and access to a super fast data network with award-winning, easy to install exclusive modems.
In broadening the appeal of its high-quality Mobile Broadband Vodafone UK will reduce the cost for consumers by 50% during a promotional period, while providing business customers more value for money. All will be available on Vodafones superfast Mobile Broadband network with 80% population coverage.
New Consumer Price Plans
For customers who use mobile internet on a laptop or a PC every day, Vodafone is launching the Mobile Broadband 3 GB price plan for £15 per month (incl. VAT). This halves the price of the existing 3 GB offering while providing unrivalled top download speeds of up to 7.2 Mb per second.
Assurance abroad
Customers wishing to take their laptops abroad can roam for just £9.99 per 24 hour session with Vodafone Connect Abroad in selected countries.*
No commitment
For occasional internet users Vodafone UK will introduce a 30 day no commitment plan, Mobile Broadband 30 Day, for just £20.
Since we launched our high-quality Mobile Broadband in the UK in July weve been leading the way in download speeds and now were determined to broaden its appeal even further. As well as the promotional offer, from next week Vodafone UK customers will be able to browse the internet with great confidence, whether at home or overseas, benefiting from clear and predictable pricing, says Nick Read, CEO, Vodafone UK. Clearly the market potential for consumer Mobile Broadband is great and we are excited to be introducing the new plans that will meet the demands of all our customers.
Greater predictability
With the launch of the new Mobile Broadband pricing Vodafone has introduced a more predictable flat rate charge of £15 per 1 GB for out-of-bundle data downloads. This offers greater certainty, billing clarity for customers as well as greater value for money.
For more information on Mobile Broadband, customers should visit www.vodafone.co.uk/broadband
Mobile Broadband Business
It is also good news for Vodafones business customers as the monthly fair usage on its newly named Mobile Broadband Business and Mobile Broadband Business Travel plans goes from 3GB to 5GB per month. Vodafones exclusive USB Modems, the Stick and the Pebble will be free on 18 month and 24 month contracts. Those customers connecting to the 24 month price plan will enjoy six months free line rental (worth £150) and 18 month customers, can save £75 with three months free.
