VODAFONE MOBILE CONNECT
WIRELESS CONNECTION WHEREVER YOU ARE

Cytamobile-Vodafone announces the commercial launch, as of April 3rd 2006, of the new service Vodafone Mobile Connect. The service is specially designed to satisfy business customers’ needs by making their work more efficient and productive, when they are away from their office or working place.

The service is targeted to all those who use portable computers (laptops), work several hours away from the office or travel abroad frequently.  It operates with the use of a special 3G/GPRS datacard, a Data SIM and special software.  It provides easy, reliable and wireless access through Cytamobile-Vodafone’s 2G and 3G networks for:

  • Internet access

  • Access to corporate applications

  • Sending & Receiving of email

  • Sending & Receiving of SMS messages

The service can be used whilst abroad at the networks with which International Roaming Agreements for GPRS and/or 3G are in place. The list of these networks, which is continuously enriched, is available in Cytamobile-Vodafone’s webpage.           

The service is available in all Cytamobile-Vodafone Sales Network shops and through the Business Customers’ Account Managers and is offered in two editions. The Internet edition allows access to the internet, email and the ability to send and receive SMS messages. Additionally, it allows access to corporate applications, through a VPN (Virtual Private Network) tunnel, if the company’s security policy allows it. The Office edition allows access to corporate applications through a VPN tunnel and the ability to send and receive SMS messages. It also allows access to the internet through the company’s LAN, if the security permissions allow it.

The customer can select between the two Cytamobile-Vodafone pay monthly data plans depending on his needs. The charging is based on the volume of data he uses. It should be noted that the charges for the use of the service whilst abroad are different from the charges for usage within Cyprus (relevant information can be found in Cytamobile-Vodafone’s webpage).

Vodafone Mobile Connect is the first service offered by Cytamobile-Vodafone that utilizes the 3G network that CYTA has been developing.

The commercial launch of the Cytamobile-Vodafone 3G network, eleven years after the launch of its 2G network, will improve customer experience especially for data services. The development of Cytamobile-Vodafone 3G network proceeds with special emphasis on the quality of the services offered in order to satisfy customers’ needs.

For more information all interested parties can contact Customer Care Call Center 132, any of the Cytamobile-Vodafone Sales Network shops, or visit Cytamobile-Vodafone’s webpage at www.cytamobile-vodafone.com
