VODAFONE UK ADDS CARPHONE WAREHOUSE FOR NEW CONNECTIONS AND EXTENDS AGREEMENT WITH PHONES4U

 

From this month, new and existing Vodafone customers will have an even wider choice of where they can purchase the best handsets and range of competitive tariffs in the UK.

 

Vodafone UK will team up with Carphone Warehouse from 7 July so customers can not only buy pay as you go mobiles and receive upgrades as they do currently but also get new pay monthly contracts and mobile broadband connections.

 

Vodafone UK has also extended its partnership with Phones4U who will continue to sell pay as you go and contract packages to customers upgrading and joining Vodafone, for both mobile phone and mobile broadband connections.

 

“Carphone Warehouse has developed a formidable retail presence on the high street and we’re very pleased to offer our customers even more choice,” says Ian Shepherd, Consumer Director, Vodafone UK.  “We’re also delighted with Phones4U’s performance so we’ve extended our partnership into a multi year agreement.”

 

From this month, a combination of over 1650 Vodafone, Carphone Warehouse and Phones4U stores will provide customers with excellent face to face help and service where and when they need it on the high street.  Customers can also visit Vodafone online at shop.vodafone.co.uk and access the many self service options on their handset for advice and support at any time.
