VODAFONE WORLD
NEW PRICING PLAN FOR CYTAMOBILE-VODAFONE'S INTERNATIONAL ROAMING SERVICES

Cytamobile-Vodafone announces the launch of a new innovative pricing plan for International Roaming Services for Cytamobile-Vodafone Pay Monthly Customers as of the 1st of February 2006, called Vodafone World.

Vodafone World is a new simplified roaming pricing plan for making and receiving calls as well as sending text messages. More specifically, the whole world is divided in six zones and each country is assigned to a zone. Each zone has its own roaming prices. This concept helps customers to easily identify the rates for making calls within the country they are visiting and to another country (including Cyprus), the rates for receiving calls and the rates for sending text messages. It is also important to note that these are no peak/off peak rates and the new flat rates apply any time of the day, any day of the week.

The new pricing plan Vodafone World also provides the opportunity for Cytamobile-Vodafone Pay Monthly Customers, while traveling, to take advantage of lower rates when connected to the Vodafone network or Vodafone Partner network in the country they are visiting.

The rates for Vodafone World are presented in the table below:
