Vodafone Malta is committing itself to reduce its European roaming prices by 40 per cent on average by not later than April next year. This means further significant cost savings for Vodafone Malta's customers while travelling in Europe.

The move continues Vodafone's commitment to offer great value for both consumer and business customers who use their mobile phone overseas. It also builds on the introduction of the innovative Vodafone Travel Promise service, launched last year. This announcement continues to prove Vodafone Malta's leadership in offering innovative, customer focused value deals for its customers.

The 40 per cent reduction will be based on the average roaming prices from last summer and will be implemented by next April. "We have received very positive feedback from our customers about the Vodafone Travel Promise, so today we are promising even better rates," Hatem Dowidar, Vodafone Malta CEO, said.

"Vodafone Travel Promise is such great value that it even offers significantly lower rates than the EU Commission is proposing to introduce. We believe that competition is the best way to deliver better value and better services to customers, not regulation."

Vodafone Travel Promise allows Vodafone customers to call home at local rates with only a connection fee of 50c added per call. For the same connection fee, Vodafone customers will be able to receive calls at no additional cost, for calls up to 10 minutes. This latest news from Vodafone represents a huge saving for any calls made across 14 countries in Europe.

Full details on the Travel Promise charges are available by calling Vodafone Customer Service on 247, from a Vodafone or 2148-2820 from any other line. Alternatively customers can visit Vodafone shops in Birkirkara, Valletta, Paola, Naxxar and Gozo or visit www.vodafone.com.mt.
