  • VodafoneThree is the only mobile network operator with a fully funded, regulated and guaranteed network build plan, reaching 99.95% 5G Standalone population coverage by 2034 and at its peak creating approximately 13,000 jobs
  • Within just two weeks, through sharing of combined spectrum, 7 million Three and SMARTY customers will receive a 20% average speed boost on 4G
  • Within a few months, 27 million Vodafone and Three customers will start to benefit from unrivalled access to roam across each other’s networks – automatically connecting them to the best coverage available, at no extra cost.
