14 DAY TRIAL // Wireless carrier Vodafone UK announced on Monday the launch of Vodafone Sure Signal, a small plug-in box meant to offer users the possibility to enjoy enhanced coverage at home or at the office. According to the company, the new solution is not only easy to install, but it is also easy to use, and it comes with an appealing price of only £50.
The Vodafone Sure Signal solution will plug in into the broadband line with a speed of at least 1MB per second to deliver better 3G coverage indoors. It is compatible with all 3G mobile phones, and will offer enhanced connectivity, so that one won't have to worry any more about missed calls, or poor signal. Moreover, it will also open the door towards a wide range of Vodafone services anywhere at home or at the office.
“No other network in the UK can ensure a great mobile phone signal in the home, because the Sure Signal is unique to Vodafone,” says Guy Laurence, Vodafone UK CEO. “Customers tell us it is life changing. If they live or work in a basement for example, the only way they may be able to get consistent mobile coverage could be with a Vodafone Sure Signal.”
Vodafone Secure Signal is the first solution of its kind in Europe. It was launched on the company's airwaves for the first time back in July 2009 as the Vodafone Access Gateway, and can be purchased for a £50 one-off cost for price plans of £25 or more (with the possibility to pay for it £5 a month for 12 months), or for a £120 one-off cost for price plans of less than £25 (or £5 a month for 24 months).
The solution is mainly aimed at small business customers, Vodafone UK notes. The price tags for Sure Signal excluding VAT are as follows: £42.56 one-off cost (or £4.26 a month for 12 months) for new or existing customers on Your Plan for Small Business and Storm price plans of £21.26 or more £102 one-off cost (or £4.26 a month for 24 months) for new or existing customers on Your Plan for Small Business and Storm price plans of less than £21.26
