Vodafone today announces the signing of a new Partner Network Agreement, making LUXGSM Vodafone's exclusive Partner in Luxembourg.
The mutually beneficial partnership brings together two well-recognised brands; Vodafone is the world's largest mobile community and LUXGSM, the mobile network of P&TLuxembourg, is Luxembourg's leading mobile operator. Under the terms of the agreement, both companies will co-operate in developing and offering products and services to international travellers and domestic customers.
As a Partner Network, LUXGSM will offer Vodafone and its partners' customers seamless access to Vodafone's international mobile services while travelling in Luxembourg. LUXGSM customers will enjoy the benefits of Vodafone's roaming services across its extensive global footprint.
Peter Bamford, Chief Marketing Officer, Vodafone said: "Vodafone's Partner Network strategy represents an increasingly significant development in the delivery of Vodafone's mobile services. By partnering with leading mobile operators such as LUXGSM, Vodafone is able to market its portfolio of global services in new territories, extend its brand reach into new markets and create additional revenue without equity investment. I am delighted to welcome LUXGSM to the world's largest mobile community."
Marcel Gross, Chief Executive Officer, P&T Luxembourg, said: "In an increasingly mobile environment, we are pleased to partner with Vodafone to offer even more freedom to our LUXGSM customers, as well as highly competitive international roaming tariffs. Our agreement with Vodafone reinforces LUXGSM's leading position in Luxembourg".
Following today's announcement, Vodafone's portfolio of global services, supported by its global brand, will be available in a total of 12 Partner Network countries: Austria, Bahrain, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Kuwait, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Slovenia and Singapore, in addition to its subsidiary and associate markets.
