Vodafone jumps on iPhone bandwagon

Vodafone has today announced they will be selling the iPhone
Vodafone has today announced they will be selling the iPhone, hot on the heels of rivals Orange who made the same announcement yesterday.

However, Vodafone said they would not start selling the 3G and 3GS models until early 2010, meaning Orange and O2 will still be able to take advantage of Christmas sales.

Before yesterday, Apple had an exclusive two-year deal with O2, which was the only network in the UK to sell the popular iPhone. But Orange announced yesterday it would be selling the phone later this year, setting up a pre-registration site for customers awaiting the handsets release.

In a brief announcement today, Vodafone said: 'Vodafone and Apple today confirmed that they have reached agreement to bring iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS to the UK and Ireland in early 2010.

'Beginning today, Vodafone UK and Vodafone Ireland customers can register their interest in iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS online. Pricing, tariffs and availability information will be announced locally in the future.

'Vodafone now offers iPhone through 13 of its operating companies.'ADNFCR-708-ID-19384064-ADNFCR
