About Vodafone

We are a leading European and African telecommunications company transforming the way our customers live and work through our technology, platforms, products and services.

Where we operate We operate mobile and fixed networks in 15 countries and have stakes in a further seven countries through our joint ventures and associates. We also partner with mobile networks in 43 countries outside our footprint. Our portfolio of local markets is supported by corporate services and shared operations, which deliver benefits through scale and standardisation.

How we are structured and what we sell Our business comprises of infrastructure assets, shared operations, growth platforms and retail and service operations. Our retail and service operations are split across three broad business lines: Vodafone Business, Europe Consumer and Africa Consumer. Core connectivity products and services in fixed and mobile account for the majority of our revenue. However, our portfolio also includes high return growth areas that leverage and complement our core connectivity business, such as digital services, the Internet of Things (‘IoT’) and financial services. We market and sell through digital and physical channels.
