About us
Vodafone is Ireland's leading mobile communications operator with over 2.217 million customers.
Our vision is to be the communications leader in an increasingly connected world.
Vodafone is Ireland's leading mobile communications operator with over 2.265 million customers and a market share of approximately 45%. We employ approximately 1,650 people in Dublin and Dundalk; almost half of whom work in customer care, providing customer support 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
We make significant investments building and maintaining our networks and to date, we have invested approximately ƒ800 million developing 3G services in Ireland as part of a ƒ1bn investment programme for 3G services.
We remain at the forefront of innovation in Ireland and introduced IrelandÌs first 3G Broadband network which provides nationwide mobile broadband access. Since the acquisition of Perlico in November 2007, we have become one of the largest providers of broadband solutions in the Irish market with in excess of 70,000 customers.
Vodafone continues to lead the market with the introduction of innovative and best in class products and services. In August, Vodafone partnered with Google, MySpace, eBay and YouTube to launch Vodafone Mobile Internet Ò a service that brings the internet and mobile worlds together for over 1 million customers. Vodafone Mobile InternetÌs 99c per day price point has liberated usage of internet on the mobile Ò in the first month alone, total usage increased by 200 per cent.
Vodafone first entered the Irish market in May 2001, after acquiring Eircell in the largest deal ever in Irish corporate history, but our origins date back to 1984, when IrelandÌs first mobile phone service was launched as part of the former state telco Telecom Eireann. Operating under the separate brand, Eircell, it enjoyed huge expansion in the late 1990s as mobile telephony was embraced in Ireland.
As part of Vodafone Group, we are now part of the world's largest mobile community. Up to 31 December 2007, the Group had 252 million customers with a significant presence in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific and the United States.
