Vodafone Red customers can now enjoy travel freedom as Vodafone Qatar allows in-plan data to be used in 20 countries with zero extra charge. The data included in the customers’ plans can be used in Qatar, UK, Turkey, Italy and many more countries where Vodafone is present globally.
Vodafone brought the power of its international network and expertise to Qatar by revealing yesterday innovative changes to the rules of mobile, designed to give customers more fairness, freedom and differentiation.
The launch was held in the presence of Vodafone’s senior executive team including the company’s Chief Executive Officer Ian Gray and representatives from charities Eid, Qatar Charity and RAF and members of the press.
