VODAFONE CHANGING DYNAMICS OF BUSINESS DATA PRICING
Following the success of the Vodafone Mobile Connect 3G datacard, Vodafone continues to revolutionise business mobility, with the announcement today of two significant changes in the pricing of mobile data:
|
The introduction of a new great value, roaming data tariff, which provides clarity and predictability for our customers travelling abroad, and |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Vodafone is doubling the countries offering its flat rate, unlimited usage, domestic data tariff |
The Vodafone Mobile Connect 3G datacard has truly enabled business mobility. Now, more than 300,000 business customers are benefiting from the invaluable flexibility of being able to work wherever they are, said Peter Bamford, Chief Marketing Officer at Vodafone. Vodafone has now made the service even better by adding great value data tariffs. Vodafone is unique no other mobile operator can offer business customers the same seamless 3G experience or value internationally.
New Roaming Tariff
The Monthly Travel Tariff brings great value to our business customers and underlines Vodafones commitment to offer its customers simple and predictable pricing when using its roaming services.
Specifically tailored to suit the needs of business travellers, the new roaming tariff gives customers predictable data costs by charging a flat rate of 75 per month (£50 for Vodafone UK customers) to send or receive up to 100 MB of data when using the Vodafone Mobile Connect service on participating Vodafone networks**.
Commenting on this industry leading initiative, Martin Gutberlet, Principal EMEA Analyst at Gartner, said: Currently, business travellers can incur data charges of up to 15 per MB, depending on where they are. These kinds of charges are simply not sustainable in the long term and could lead to companies putting limits on the amount of work done remotely. Reducing the price of data services addresses the real needs of business users and is exactly the direction the industry should go in order to drive up usage of 3G networks.
With 3G data rates of up to 384kbps, the Vodafone Mobile Connect 3G datacard enables Vodafones business customers to access all their usual office applications like e-mail, calendar and internet. The reliability and ease of use of the Vodafone Mobile Connect 3G datacard, coupled with the Vodafone 3G national and international network coverage, means greater business productivity and enhanced responsiveness for businesses.
The Vodafone Mobile Connect Monthly Travel Tariff will be made available to Vodafone customers in Greece, Italy and Portugal in June, followed closely by Germany and the UK in July. The tariff will also be made available to Vodafone customers in Hungary, the Netherlands, Spain and Sweden in due course.
This is the second roaming pricing initiative to be launched in the last few weeks and forms part of the Vodafone Travel Promise.
Domestic Tariff
Vodafones domestic, flat rate data tariffs offer unlimited usage* for just 50-99 per month. Business customers will now have the flexibility to work whenever, and wherever, rather than worrying about data usage levels. Vodafone has already successfully launched the new bundles in a number of its European markets (Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands, Portugal and Sweden) and following positive customer feedback, is now rolling out the unlimited data pricing model across the rest of Europe. The new Vodafone Mobile Connect domestic data usage bundles is available from June in Greece, Ireland, Italy, and Spain followed by the United Kingdom in July.
To opt-in to either of the new tariffs, customers should contact their local operator for more details.

Notes to Editors
* The Vodafone Mobile Connect domestic data tariff is subject to a fair usage policy, with a maximum limit of 1GB per month (excluding Vodafone Italy and Vodafone Germany, where a limit of 500 MB applies).

Additional information on Group data tariffs
The two new data tariffs complement the existing domestic and roaming flat rate tariff for BlackBerry® from Vodafone customers starting from 60 a month, enabling customers to fully predict their monthly BlackBerry email costs. The tariff has a maximum usage limit set by the local Vodafone operator (for example, Vodafone UK has a fair usage limit of 6MB for domestic use and 3MB when roaming).

MSN AND VODAFONE TO LAUNCH PC-TO-MOBILE INSTANT MESSAGING
SERVICE TO OFFER REAL-TIME,
SEAMLESS INSTANT MESSAGING CONVERSATIONS
BETWEEN PC AND MOBILE CUSTOMERS
REDMOND, Wash., and NEWBURY, U.K. 30 June 2005 MSN and Vodafone today announced plans to launch a first-of-its-kind seamless instant messaging (IM) service between PCs and mobile phones. Customers will be able to see the presence of their contacts and exchange instant messages between MSN® Messenger on a PC and Vodafone Messenger on mobile phones and vice versa. By offering customers a seamless PC-to-mobile messaging option with instant messaging, MSN and Vodafone will expand communication choices, delivering an enhanced messaging offering for MSN and Vodafone customers who want to stay in touch with friends, family and colleagues.
The service will be based on the familiar mobile commercial model of Calling Party Pays. As they do today, Vodafone customers will prepay or pay for the service through their monthly bill, while MSN Messenger customers will be able to pay through packages available in connection with MSN Messenger.
The service will bring together customers of MSN Messenger, the worlds largest instant messaging service with more than 165 million customers worldwide, and Vodafone, which has almost 155 million customers around the world, as messaging continues to grow in popularity on PCs and mobile phones. Building on and complementing the messaging success of SMS, instant messaging between PCs and mobile phones enables new service benefits to customers such as immediacy, the ability to tell whether a contact is available to receive a message (presence) and the ability to see the text of whole conversations. By adding the service functionality of IM and by connecting MSN and Vodafone customers, both companies expect more frequent interaction between PC and mobile customers, resulting in more traffic.
MSN and Vodafone are working to enhance messaging between mobile phones and PCs, ultimately delivering a richer experience to customers, said Blake Irving, corporate vice president of the MSN Communication Services and Member Platform group at Microsoft Corp. By enabling our customers to see each others presence on both PC and mobile devices, we are expanding our customers ability to make smart communication choices and connect instantly via IM to the people they care about most.
We have brought together two of the worlds largest messaging communities with a first of its kind for both industries a seamless PC-to-mobile instant messaging service. Vodafone customers will now be able to use IM and its additional service benefits to stay in touch with mobile and PC friends and family, said Peter Bamford, Chief Marketing Officer for Vodafone. IM is a growing part of the increasingly important mobile messaging market. By bringing our collective customers together, well deliver more options for staying in touch when messaging. Our agreement will grow IM and SMS, meaning additional revenue for Vodafone.
MSN and Vodafone plan to launch the enhanced messaging service in several European countries before the end of the year.
