Maastricht, 27 March 2007 - As of tomorrow, all people in the Netherlands can call the new number 1800 for the Directory Assistance and Call Completion service by Vodafone. The number 1800 is chosen by Vodafone to replace its 118 number, which will be disconnected as of 1 April.

That is exactly what we train our advisors to deliver. That we can now extend this service towards the entire Dutch population, including people who are not yet a Vodafone customer, is a very exciting new challenge."
