NEW YORK-Vodafone Group plc introduced international roaming for its prepaid mobile-phone customers on its networks across Europe. The service, already available to Vodafone’s postpaid customers, follows the launch of Vodafone Eurocall and Home Services international prepaid roaming services.
The new international prepaid service, introduced recently to Vodafone’s 7.9 million U.K. prepaid customers, will also be offered to D2 Vodafone in Germany beginning this month, and extend across Vodafone’s networks across Europe over the next several months. Vodafone UK’s Pay as you Talk customers will also be able to send and receive text messages through the service.
Vodafone currently offers a prepaid roaming service to customers on its Airtel network in Spain, Panafon Vodafone in Greece, Omnitel Vodafone in Italy and Telecel Vodafone in Portugal. However, the new international prepaid roaming service will be rolled out to these networks over the next few months.
