Number of Vodafone customers rises 10%

VODAFONE increased its customer base by 10% to 2.35 million in the last three months, but the company made less money on each person.

This is despite people using 17% more text messages and 3% more voice minutes than in the same quarter the previous year.

Irish customers sent over 1.29 billion text messages and used 1.64 billion voice minutes in the three months to the end of June, according to Vodafone. This is well above the European average.
