Vodafone New Zealand

Company profile
Vodafone Group Plc acquired its New Zealand business in November 1998 (previously known as BellSouth New Zealand). At the time of purchase, BellSouth had 138,000 customers. Vodafone now has more than 1.2 million customers and a network covering 97 per cent of the population. Vodafone provides its GSM (Global System for Mobile) digital communication service on the 900 and 1800 megahertz parts of the radio spectrum. Vodafone is the clear market leader in mobile communications in New Zealand with an eight-fold growth in customer numbers in the past three years. The company is focussed on developing new value-added products and services for its customers, particularly its high value business customers. Right now, WAP and GPRS services are the hot new areas.
