Vodafone UK

Leading the way in mobile innovation

On 1 January 1985 we made the UK's first mobile call. It marked the launch of the mobile industry and transformed global communications. Today Vodafone is the world's leading international mobile telecommunications group with equity interests in 27 countries across 5 continents, 186.8 million proportionate customers and 33 partner networks*.

For more than 20 years we've been at the forefront of mobile innovation. Now we're entering a stretch of uncharted territory as next generation technology opens up a whole new range of opportunities for customers. It's a new and exciting stage in our journey.

Why do so many people choose Vodafone?

Our vision - to be the world's mobile communications leader, enriching customers' lives and helping individuals, businesses and communities to be more connected in a mobile world.

Investment - we channel massive investment into building a network that lets our customers make more calls from more places, confident that the quality and reliability of our service is second to none.

Value for money - in the past three years we've reduced costs more than five times, which equates to savings of around 50% for our customers.

Customer service - from providing coverage and capacity to call handling and billing, we're focused on maintaining a high level of customer service.
