Vodafone Gets Tango'd

Vodafone has signed a partnership deal with Luxembourg mobile network operator, Tango - replacing a contract with rival operator LuxGSM which recently expired. Vodafone said that the partnership strengthens the existing relationship between Vodafone and Belgacom, Tango's parent company.

As part of a phased roll-out, the partnership with Vodafone will provide Tango customers with voice and data roaming access across Vodafone's global network. In turn, Vodafone will be able to use Tango's 3G network to offer its customers a number of services, which utilise 'home' network capabilities.

Furthermore, the Agreement provides for the introduction by Tango of a range of Vodafone branded Products and Services in addition to its current product portfolio.

Commenting on the Agreement, Hatem Dowidar, CEO, Vodafone Partner Markets, said: "This strategic partnership with Tango further strengthens our successful relationship with Belgacom and enables us to continue to promote our brand in the Luxembourg market. The new agreement delivers considerable roaming benefits and our Global Enterprise customers will enjoy a full integrated offering."

Didier Rouma, CEO, Tango Mobile said: "We are very pleased that Vodafone is extending its partnership with Belgacom through the deal with Tango in Luxembourg. Vodafone's international presence will allow Tango to offer new Vodafone products and services to its local market while enhancing our international roaming proposition throughout Vodafone's global footprint. Furthermore, using Belgacom's new Enterprise Business Unit in Luxembourg, Vodafone will be able to rely on Tango's expertise to welcome their both existing and new Global Enterprise customers."

Tango is the second largest (out of three) operators in Luxembourg, and figures from the Mobile World subscriber tracker estimates that the operator ended last year with around 230,000 subscribers, representing a market share of 32%
