Vodafone has announced a new flat rate data tariff for its European customers today offering a full days use for 12 Euros.
The tariff will be launched on 1st July 2007 and promises to significantly lower the data costs for people who only want to use this sort of service for a few days at a time.
Aimed at both business and personal users who want to use laptops while travelling the service uses 3G and HSDPA in some areas to offer fast data transfer.
Arun Sarin, Chief Executive of Vodafone, said:
Following the success of our Passport service, which has made it cheaper and simpler to call home over the past two years, we are now applying the same principles of value and simplicity for customers who need to access their corporate intranets, business e-mail or surf the web when they are abroad.
With high speed 3G networks already deployed in many European markets, ongoing investment in new technologies to increase download speeds and clear, effective tariffs, Vodafone should be the network of choice for those seeking to use their laptops when travelling.
Previously Vodafone offered data transfer on a per Megabyte basis which was costly for some users and proved difficult for people to keep track of the costs.
The new tariff offers 24 hours of data, capped at 50MB for a fixed fee of 12 Euros + VAT.
