Vodafone Extends 3G Coverage: Bringing Choice and Value To Regional Customers

Today is the day Vodafone extends its 3G coverage into hundreds of regional areas in Australia. If you live rural, there might be a good chance you are one of the lucky customers. The much-needed update allows all existing and new customers free unlimited access to Facebook on their mobile phone. This special promotion is valid until 31st October 2009.

To be able to access 3G services on the go is becoming ever so important as more and more consumers favour working mobile. The on-the-go movement will only become more popular as the teenagers of today enter the workforce of tomorrow. Tech savvy workers are the employees of Australia’s tomorrow and not indulging their talent would mean going backwards in time.

CEO at Vodafone Hutchison Australia (VHA), Nigel Dews says regional customers can now enjoy 3G services at Vodafone’s great value prices. He said: “Vodafone is committed to investing in its network to make state-of-the-art 3G services more accessible and affordable.”

“Vodafone’s great value 3G services are now available to Australians living and working in regional cities and towns, as well as business travellers and holiday-makers who need to stay connected.”

“More Vodafone customers, in more places, can now get online on their mobile phone or laptop while they’re out and about, to keep up-to-date on emails, stay in-touch with friends and family via Facebook, MySpace or Twitter and blog, game or Google.”

Vodafone’s new network extension overview:

At a glance, Vodafone 3G can now be used:

• Extending out to Kununurra in WA.
• Extending to Port Douglas in Queensland.
• Extending to Devonport in Tasmania.

All over 94 per cent of the Australian population is able to access the network now. Previously before the upgrade Vodafone’s 3G coverage only reached 80 per cent of the Australian population.

Get the right gear:

You need to have a 3G 900Mhz mobile phones available on Vodafone prepaid or contract to access its 3G services. In total there are 18 of these on the market right now with more to be introduced in the future for sure. One such phone is the prepaid Nokia 6220 for $229.

Vodafone Prepaid Flexi Caps start at $29 (includes $300 total value)~ and give customers the freedom to spend their included Flexible Credit any way they like – on calls, txt, Internet browsing, instant messaging and downloading games or music.

Vodafone’s regional 2G network will now support EDGE technology as part of the new upgrade. This means that existing Vodafone customers with a 2G mobile phone can continue to access voice and txt services as normal and experience an increase in data speeds at the same time.
