Asda Mobile customers begin moving over to Vodafone’s UK mobile network this week, as part of the Mobile Virtual Network Operator agreement between the two companies.
Vodafone UK’s partnership with Asda Mobile, announced in autumn 2020, has now begun in earnest.
From today (22 March 2021), new customers to Asda Mobile will automatically be connected to the Vodafone mobile network. In addition, Asda has started moving existing mobile customers over to Vodafone, with the process expected to be completed by mid-September 2021.
Asda Mobile is handling the transition for its customers as well as answering any queries they may have. Vodafone has supplied Asda Mobile with the systems and tools necessary to support customers in transferring their numbers, bills and balances as smoothly as possible.
Asda Mobile customers will not only benefit from Vodafone’s 4G and 5G network, but can also take advantage of access to unlimited mobile data plans, high-quality 4G voice calls and ever-easier ways of managing their accounts online.
Vodafone says that the commencement of Asda’s service on the Vodafone network is another significant step in the growth story for Vodafone’s Wholesale team. It follows the launch of Virgin Media’s service with Vodafone in January 2021, which has enabled Virgin Media mobile customers to take advantage of the ultra-fast speeds of Vodafone’s 5G network.
The news of the launch of Asda Mobile comes shortly after the announcement that Vodafone UK has acquired the rights to the latest tranche of spectrum needed for next-generation 5G services, a move that will benefit all users of Vodafone UK’s mobile network.
