> UK Coverage
Vodafone Digital coverage now covers 99% of
the UK population offering customers the most
up to date technology and helping to ensure
superior call quality and service. We are currently
spending around £10 million a week on
developing the effectiveness of the network
infrastructure, as well as implementing sites
for the future use of technologies such as GPRS
and UMTS.
The Vodafone digital network is reassuringly
secure, offering customers security against
fraud. Enhanced security is assured through
the use of encryption of voice conversations
to prevent eavesdropping. The Digital network
also gives you access from your mobile phone
to Vodafone's portfolio of data, messaging and
fax services.
An extensive 6 month testing revealed that,
at the end of March 2000, our Call Completion
Success rate was a staggering 97% - amazing
when you think that nearly 1 in 6 people in
Britain are now using the Vodafone network.

> Vodafone International Roaming
Roaming is the ability to make an receive calls
whilst abroad. Vodafone currently has Roaming
Agreements with over 241 networks in
more than 109 countries.
Before you go abroad, to make and receive
calls outside the UK on your mobile phone, an
International Call Bar may need to be lifted.
Check with your Service Provider before setting
off overseas.
Note: International Roaming is subject to
status. This service requires activating on
your account by your Service Provider.
Roaming Charges
Charging for a Roaming call starts when
the called roaming handset is answered. From
the moment the call is answered the caller pays
their standard network charge to the mobile
on its hom network regardless of where the called
phone is. The called roaming phone is charged
for the International delivery leg of the call.
