VODAFONE
Vodafone is a large international telecommunications company based in England which entered the New Zealand market in 1998 when it took over the cellphone retailer Bell South and promptly renamed it Vodafone. This change in ownership was reflected in the existing Bell South cards being rebranded vodafone as shown in the first series below. |
