Carphone Warehouse to Resume Sales of Vodafone Contract Phones

The UK mobile phone retailer, Carphone Warehouse (CPW) has agreed a deal with Vodafone UK to start offering the network operator's contract (postpaid) tariffs to its customers again. Vodafone terminated earlier sales through CPW in last 2006 in favour of an exclusive deal with rival retailer, Phones 4U.

CPW will start selling Vodafone contract tariffs from next week.

Charles Dunstone, CEO of Carphone Warehouse Group PLC, said "We have been partners with Vodafone for 20 years and this agreement marks a continued strengthening of our relationship and will benefit both businesses and th­eir customers. CPW has always strived to offer the widest possible choice of handsets, networks and tariffs and our new agreement with Vodafone will bring exciting new products and services to our stores and gives our customers the best possible choice in the marketplace for their communication needs"

Vodafone UK has also extended its partnership with Phones4U who will continue to sell pay as you go and contract packages to customers upgrading and joining Vodafone, for both mobile phone and mobile broadband connections.

"Carphone Warehouse has developed a formidable retail presence on the high street and we're very pleased to offer our customers even more choice," says Ian Shepherd, Consumer Director, Vodafone UK. "We're also delighted with Phones4U's performance so we've extended our partnership into a multi year agreement."
