Vodafone Malta Limited has launched a new, unique service for its prepaid customers. Vodafone Credit Rescue gives customers who run out of credit and who are not in a position to top up their accounts the possibility of obtaining credit from other prepaid Vodafone subscribers.

Vodafone Credit Rescue allows customers to obtain Lm1 or Lm 2 in credit from friends and family who are also Vodafone prepaid customers.

To make use of Vodafone Credit Rescue, prepaid customers who want to rescue their friends or family need to send an SMS to 5091-1101 for Lm1 credit or 5091-1102 for Lm2 credit.

The SMS must include the mobile number of the person to whom they would like to give credit. The transfer is done automatically and both customers will receive a confirmation via SMS. Vodafone Credit Rescue is also available when travelling. Terms and conditions apply.

"Vodafone Malta is the only mobile operator to offer this brand new concept in Malta," Claire Falzon, Consumer, Propositions and Planning manager at Vodafone Malta Limited, said.

"Vodafone Credit Rescue is designed to assist prepaid customers who run out of credit and cannot buy a top-up voucher. You can now rescue these customers with a simple SMS."

More information on Vodafone's Credit Rescue, as well as the terms and conditions, are available from the Website www.vodafone.com.mt or by calling Vodafone's Customer Service on 2148-2820.
