Under the new contract, Vodafone will supply all Western Australian government departments and public authorities with GSM network services such as mobile to mobile, fixed to mobile, SMS, voicemail, conference calls and roaming.

Darren Hayes, General Manager of Vodafone WA, is thrilled with the outcome of the tender. "This contract highlights Vodafone's commitment to competitive pricing in the marketplace," said Darren.

"The appointment is a true testament to the Vodafone network and services in Western Australia as this state government arrangement is setting a standard of best practice for Vodafone across Australia."
