Vodafone Offers Overseas Top-ups

Vodafone has said that seven of its European operators, in Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Spain and the UK can now offer visiting Vodafone customers the ability to top up their pre-paid mobile phones when abroad. The top up method is the same as the home experience: customers simply buy a voucher with cash locally and dial the same top up number as they would at home. Furthermore, the free top up call will take place in the customer's own language.

Thomas Geitner, Chief Executive, Global Products and Services, Vodafone, said "Being able to top up your pre-paid phone with cash whilst abroad demonstrates how Vodafone is leading the market in continually expanding mobile services which address the desires of our customers. All of our services are designed to be easy to use in a borderless world. Our pre-paid customers can already use their mobiles when abroad as if they're using them at home. Now they can top up just as easily, enabling them to stay connected while on holiday."'"
