VODAFONE ADDS LUXEMBOURG TO PARTNER NETWORK COMMUNITY
Vodafone today announces the signing of a new Partner Network Agreement, making
LUXGSM Vodafone’s exclusive Partner in Luxembourg.
The mutually beneficial partnership brings together two well-recognised brands;
Vodafone is the world’s largest mobile community and LUXGSM, the mobile network
of P&TLuxembourg, is Luxembourg’s leading mobile operator. Under the terms of
the agreement, both companies will co-operate in developing and offering
products and services to international travellers and domestic customers.
As a Partner Network, LUXGSM will offer Vodafone and its partners’ customers
seamless access to Vodafone’s international mobile services while travelling in
Luxembourg. LUXGSM customers will enjoy the benefits of Vodafone’s roaming
services across its extensive global footprint.
Peter Bamford, Chief Marketing Officer, Vodafone said: “Vodafone’s Partner
Network strategy represents an increasingly significant development in the
delivery of Vodafone’s mobile services. By partnering with leading mobile
operators such as LUXGSM, Vodafone is able to market its portfolio of global
services in new territories, extend its brand reach into new markets and create
additional revenue without equity investment. I am delighted to welcome LUXGSM
to the world’s largest mobile community.”
Marcel Gross, Chief Executive Officer, P&T Luxembourg, said: “In an increasingly
mobile environment, we are pleased to partner with Vodafone to offer even more
freedom to our LUXGSM customers, as well as highly competitive international
roaming tariffs. Our agreement with Vodafone reinforces LUXGSM’s leading
position in Luxembourg”.
Following today’s announcement, Vodafone’s portfolio of global services,
supported by its global brand, will be available in a total of 12 Partner
Network countries: Austria, Bahrain, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland,
Iceland, Kuwait, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Slovenia and Singapore, in addition to
its subsidiary and associate markets.
