VODAFONE LAUNCHES WORLD’S FIRST PREPAY PHONE WITH FACEBOOK® BUILT-IN

 

Wednesday 27th July, 2011. Vodafone today announced the world’s first designated prepay phone specifically designed to put the Facebook experience into the heart of the handset, allowing people to easily share and connect with their friends when they’re on the move.

 

The Vodafone 555 Blue, developed in collaboration with Facebook, puts popular social networking functions – from status updates to sharing a photo – into the hands of millions of people in an attractive, intuitive and competitively priced mobile phone.

 

Powering the new era of mobile social networking

 

Every aspect of the Vodafone 555 Blue design reflects people’s desire to stay up-to-date and communicate with their friends anytime, anywhere.

 

·                  Ready to go, straight out of the box: Facebook is built into the handset’s core – it’s running the moment the customer turns on the mobile phone.

 

·                  Truly integrated messaging: Facebook messages appear in the handset’s inbox alongside texts and email.

 

·                  Simple photo-sharing: photos taken using the Vodafone 555 Blue’s 2 megapixel camera can be shared with friends with a single click.

 

·                  Easy to stay in contact: friends’ Facebook profiles are automatically synchronised in the Vodafone 555 Blue’s address book.

 

·                  Always available: the Vodafone 555 Blue updates regularly in the background, flagging new items on the homescreen and quickly loading them when opened.

 

·                  One-click control: the customisable Facebook ‘F’ button can be assigned to one of a number of tasks, including instantly posting a status update with photos from the gallery or with links from the browser.

 

·                  Attractive form-factor: touch navigation, 2.4” landscape display and QWERTY keypad are ideal for typing chat, email and status updates.

 

Vodafone’s Group Terminals Director Patrick Chomet said: “The mobile internet plays a central role in the daily lives of more than 87 million Vodafone customers, many of whom are avid Facebook users. The Vodafone 555 Blue is a unique and innovative handset, designed and developed by Vodafone to offer a simple but powerful Facebook experience for people in both emerging markets and developed economies who want to stay in touch with their friends, wherever they are.”

 

“Facebook wants to make every phone social and Vodafone has taken the integration of Facebook to the next stage for an affordable mobile device with the Vodafone 555 Blue,” said Henri Moissinac, Head of Mobile Business, Facebook . “We’re really happy that Vodafone will distribute this phone globally and we hope to do much more with them to bring the mobile, social internet to people everywhere.”

 

The Vodafone 555 Blue includes the Opera Mini 5 web browser for fast internet browsing and, of course, it’s also a great phone.

 

Available soon across most Vodafone businesses around the world.

VODAFONE TURKEY TO ACQUIRE KOC.NET

 

 

Vodafone Turkey today announced that it has agreed terms with the Koç Group to acquire  Koç.net1 for a cash consideration of TRY30 million (£11 million2).  Koç.net provides fixed voice and data services to enterprise customers and will enable Vodafone Turkey to enter the ADSL market for the first time.

The transaction is subject to Turkish Competition Authority approval and is expected to complete in the fourth calendar quarter of 2011.

Koç.net later became a leading alternative operator by expanding its scope and services following the liberalisation of the Turkish telecommunications market in 2004, and achieved a leading position in the market due to its customer focus. Since 2008, Koç.net has provided ADSL and phone services to consumers under the BiRi brand.

VODAFONE SPAIN SECURES SPECTRUM TO DELIVER NEW SERVICES FOR CUSTOMERS

 

Vodafone Spain has been awarded a total of 60 MHz (2x30 MHz) of new spectrum in the Spanish government’s auction, enabling the Company to provide its customers with enhanced mobile internet services across the country, including in rural areas.

 

The spectrum award will support Vodafone Spain’s plans to develop the next generation of wireless data services, known as Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology. LTE transforms the customer experience of the mobile internet, offering high-speed data access and rich multimedia services. In developing LTE services, Vodafone Spain will draw on the experience of Vodafone Germany, which launched LTE towards the end of 2010.

 

Vodafone Spain bid successfully for a total of 20 MHz (2x10 MHz) in the 800 MHz band and 40 MHz (2x20MHz) in the 2.6 GHz band for a total consideration of €518 million (£454 million1). The 800 MHz ‘digital dividend’ spectrum will become available in 2014 after the switchover from analogue to all-digital TV broadcasting in Spain.  The 2.6 GHz spectrum band is immediately available for use.

 

Additionally, Vodafone Spain will begin to offer 3G mobile internet access to customers in rural areas by the end of 2011 after receiving approval from the Spanish government to re-farm spectrum in the 900 MHz frequency band currently used for 2G services. The Company has already begun to deploy versatile single Radio Access Network (RAN) base stations designed to handle 2G, 3G and LTE technologies on a common shared platform.

 

The additional spectrum and ongoing network investments will enable Vodafone Spain to build on its success in delivering the mobile internet to its customers. Over the last financial year, Vodafone Spain saw strong growth in the uptake of smartphones and mobile internet services, helping to boost data revenue growth (excluding content revenue) by around 22%.
