The Vodafone 3G revolution hits Invercargill today heralding a momentous leap in communications for the region.
Vodafone customers can now experience all the 3G services that entertain, inform and allow more effective business communication. Through the 3G network customers can use their mobile to watch Mobile TV, access the Vodafone Music Store and experience Video Calling.
For easy access to internet, email and office applications direct from their laptops and PC's customers can choose from the Vodem, Vodafone 3G broadband datacard or Vodafone 3G Broadband router.
Blair Myles, Vodafone Regional Sales Manager, South Island, says, "Vodafone has invested hundreds of millions of dollars nationwide in the development of the 3G network and we're thrilled to extend this investment to the Invercargill community. We look forward to seeing the locals enjoy the benefits of 3G Broadband."
Vodafone's philosophy of helping businesses to work smarter with mobile data connectivity removes the need for customers to constantly return to the office to check emails and voicemail. With 3G, they can take their inbox with them.
"The launch of Vodafone 3G Broadband brings world class telecommunications to Invercargill, offering vast opportunities for our regions’ digital future", says Tim Shadbolt the Mayor of Invercargill. "Technology has the ability to bring world markets to our local businesses and with this significant development Invercargill businesses can improve productivity and potentially drive further economic growth".
