Vodaphone will be the first phone company to offer unlimited mobile broadband access in the UK. Since launching the internet on mobiles, the market has witnessed a huge amount of growth in services. It seems that having instant availability on the move to email, messaging and the use of social networking tools, such as Facebook and Myspace, is now imperative to consumers. Pay monthly customers with now automatically receive internet access instead of having to buy an additional bundle for £7.50.

Director for Vodafone UK Ian Shepherd explained:

‘With our new price plans, Vodafone customers have the confidence to browse for as long as they need with no extra costs when checking their email, visiting their favourite social sites or making a final bid on eBay.’

Great news for Vodaphone customers across the globe, as the company has now tied down a deal with Apple to be their sole network provider in 10 countries.

After losing out to O2 in the UK and Germany, the new worldwide partnership ensures Apple iPhone networking privileges for Vodaphone in Australia, the Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Italy, India, Portugal, New Zealand, South Africa and Turkey.

The phone itself combines perfectly as an MP3 player, telephone and wireless internet connection, giving people on the move the multimedia platform of their dreams. The model to be launched globally is likely to be the latest ‘second-generation’ version that supports the faster 3G networks, which has just been released in the United States.

Vodaphone chief executive Russell Hewitt said

“The iPhone has already proved to be extremely popular and Vodafone is confident that today’s announcement will be well received around the world by people who are keen to get their hands on the new iPhone.”
