Vodafone gains 400 customers a day

Vodafone Ireland gained 400 customers a day in the last quarter, according to the company’s interim management statement, despite the group describing Europe as difficult.

The mobile phone operator said its contract base increased by 12.6% compared to the same quarter last year. More than 36,100 Irish consumers were attracted to Vodafone’s Red Plan which offers limitless calls and texts and the option of a new phone every year.

Despite the rise in users there was a marginal drop in the average blended monthly revenue per user to €28.
