Vodafone announces tariff to make holiday phone usage cheaper

If you're traveling to a European destination this summer, Vodafone's newest bill pay tariff is aimed at you. The network today announced the launch of Red Connect, which will let you do more with your smartphone while you're away.

Red Connect customers will have unlimited calls and texts back to Ireland and within the country they are visiting without being charged extra. The main draw of this tariff is likely to be the access to all your home data and international allowances, so you shouldn't have to worry about costs racking up.

Vodafone also announced the introduction of Chat Extra, which gives customers unlimited cross network calls with unlimited cross net texts and 1GB of 4G data for €20.
