VodafoneThree signs three-year extension to partnership with Get Connected


VodafoneThree  has  signed a  three-year extension  to its  partnership with  mobile phone retailer,  Get Connected,  continuing  to  bring  Vodafone and Three brands to stores across Wales.  

The extension will now see VodafoneThree become the exclusive mobile network operator (MNO) in 46+ Get Connected stores across Wales, the Midlands and the South West. This will continue to provide people with access to handset and SIM-only contracts with the Vodafone and Three brands, as well as continued in-store support for existing customers in Wales, the Midlands and the South West.i  

In time, customers will  benefit  from  VodafoneThree’s  £11 billion investment to build the UK’s best network, with improved  coverage, speed  and reliability. The company will  fill 16,500km of ‘not spots’ – an  area  nearly the  size of Walesii  and bring  5G  Standalone  to  99.96%  of the population  by 2034.  

VodafoneThree’s  retail  presence  with Get Connected  in Wales will also  continue to  support approximately 100 jobs in Get Connected stores.  

Jon Shaw, Consumer Operations Director,  VodafoneThree, said:“Our  partnership with Get Connected  has gone from strength-to-strength, and the new exclusivity agreement is key to our retail presence in Wales. Working with trusted retail partners will help bring both Vodafone and Three brands to more people, offering customers more choice, greater value and access to the UK’s best network.”  

Damian Cole,  CEO,  Get Connected, said:“I am pleased to announce that I have just signed the agreement for three years. This partnership will give us access to more products and means that the business is now secure for at least the next  three years.”
