From 1 November, for as little as GBP 5 a month, Vodafone UK customers will be able to make unlimited calls to each other with the new Vodafone Family tariff. Offering great value, Vodafone Family will enable groups of either four or six people, to get free calls between one another at anytime - providing they are all Vodafone customers.
For GBP 5 a month, a customer will get free calls at anytime to three chosen people, whether they are a contract or pay as you talk customer. By nominating friends and family who use the Vodafone network to be part of the calling group means that all conversations between the members are free, for up to an hour per call. For families, this new initiative should give parents greater peace of mind, as they will be always be able to call their children, even if they have run out of credit.
Those that want to be part of a bigger free calling circle can create a group to include themselves and five other people for just GBP 7, meaning that six members of the group will then get free calls to one another.
Tim Yates, Director of Vodafone's Consumer Business Unit, says: "Vodafone's dedication to adapting to customers' specific needs, while providing the best value, is more evident than ever with this new initiative. We all have very pressured lives, juggling family, friends and work, and this tariff will ensure we can always stay in touch."
Customers who join Vodafone Family can belong to three groups of family and friends at any one time, meaning free calls with up to fifteen people. Vodafone Family can simply be added on to any existing price plan from just GBP 5 a month, ensuring that customers won't have to change their tariff and can start making free calls straight away.
Vodafone Family follows other recent value initiatives for Vodafone customers including free weekends where prepay customers who spend GBP 5.00 during the week get free calls to any UK network and texts all weekend.
