With easy-to-install software, customers only need to 'top up' their Vodafone Mobile Connect 3G/GPRS data card to be able to start sending and receiving emails or surfing the web throughout the UK1 or on 3G2 in 13 countries worldwide3. The card comes with 10 free Mbs of data and further top ups can be purchased as with mobile phones; by telephone, in Vodafone UK retail stores and online. Usage will be charged at £3.07 per Mb in the UK and £9.085 internationally.
The Vodafone Mobile Connect Prepay 3G data card is priced at £199 and is available from retailers including PC World, Maplin, Comet, Argos and Amazon. It is also available through channel partners Ingram Micro and Computer 2000.
"Since its launch, the Vodafone Mobile Connect data card has become an essential business tool, with many of our customers relying on its innovative simplicity to save them time and money, therefore enhancing their work productivity, client relations and staff morale," comments Kyle Whitehill, Vodafone UK's Enterprise Business Unit Director. "Vodafone is committed to providing innovative easy-to-use products and this agreement with Ingram Micro and Computer 2000 will enable us to combine all our expertise to help enable mobile working with simple, cost-effective solutions."
