VODAFONE UK LEADS TELECOMS INDUSTRY IN OFFERING 30 DAY NETWORK GUARANTEE FOR CUSTOMERS

• Vodafone 30 Day Network Guarantee gives all new and upgrading mobile customers 30 days to try us, love us or leave us – with no strings attached
• The guarantee applies to consumers and small businesses buying any of Vodafone’s bundles or devices
• The commitment leads the industry and goes far beyond a customer’s statutory rights

Choosing a new network provider can be complicated – it’s a combination of a strong network with great coverage and impressive speeds with a cost that doesn’t break the bank each month. We know it’s a big decision to agree to any commitment lasting 12 months or more – so from today we’re introducing the Vodafone 30 Day Network Guarantee which gives new and upgrading customers the freedom to experience the strength and quality of our Network before they fully commit.

It’s a mark of confidence in our network and services – in which we’ve invested more than £2 billion since 2014.  We’ve spent over £200 million in London during 2014 and 2015 to provide 99% 4G population coverage and our coverage is now unbeatable in 40 large towns and cities across the UK.  We want every customer to feel they have made the right decision, so before they fully commit they can try out their new purchase and really put our network to the test.  We’re confident that after 30 days they’ll know they’ve made the right choice.

Jeroen Hoencamp, CEO, Vodafone UK said “This industry first guarantee, for all new and upgrading mobile customers, truly puts the needs of our customers at the heart of our business. We’ve invested heavily in our network and services over the past few years so we’re now giving our customers the freedom to really test the strength and speed of our network across the UK and, if they’re not totally happy, they can come back to us within 30 days and we’ll cancel their agreement – no questions asked.”

The guarantee applies to all new and upgrading Pay monthly and Pay as you go bundles purchased through Vodafone direct channels, such as our 500 retail outlets, online shop and over the phone, so customers have the reassurance that if it’s not for them, they can return it to us, no questions asked.
