that connects people, businesses and devices to help our customers benefit from digital innovation. Our services span mobile, fixed-line connections, home and office broadband, and the Internet of Things (IoT).</p><p>We have a strong track record as a tech pioneer, making the UK’s first mobile phone call, sending the first text message, and making the UK’s first live holographic call using 5G in 2018. We were the first to start carrying live 5G traffic from a site in Salford, Greater Manchester and now have 5G in locations across Germany, Ireland, Italy, Spain as well as the UK. Meanwhile, our 4G network coverage currently reaches over 99% of the UK population.</p><p>Today, Vodafone serves more than 18 million mobile and fixed-line customers in the UK. Vodafone is the largest provider of full fibre in the UK – our superfast broadband services are now available to nearly 12 million homes across the UK.</p><p>Sustainability is also at the heart of what we do: as of 1 July 2021, 100% of the grid electricity we use in the UK is certified to be from renewable sources.</p><p>For more information about Vodafone UK, please visit: <strong><span style="font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.vodafone.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.vodafone.co.uk</a>.</span></strong></p> </div> <div class="col-12 col-lg-4 offset-lg-1"> <div> <h3 class="category">Vodafone UK Media Relations</h3> <p>Telephone: +44 (0) 1635 693 693</p><p>Email: ukmediarelations@vodafone.com</p><p>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/VodafoneUKNews" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@VodafoneUKNews</a></p><p>Website: <a href="https://vodafone.co.uk/newscentre/">https://vodafone.co.uk/newscentre/</a></p><h6>Vodafone Limited</h6><p>Registered Office: Vodafone House, The Connection, Newbury, Berkshire RG14 2FN</p><p>Registered in England No: 1471587</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> </div> </div> </main> </div> <script src="//assets.vodafone.co.uk/cs/groups/public/documents/js/ws2-shared-footer.min.js.js"></script><footer class="footer"></footer> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.vodafone.co.uk/newscentre/app/plugins/metronet-profile-picture/js/mpp-frontend.js?ver=2.6.3" id="mpp_gutenberg_tabs-js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.vodafone.co.uk/newscentre/app/themes/news/dist/scripts/main.js" id="sage/main.js-js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.onesignal.com/sdks/OneSignalSDK.js?ver=1.0.0" id="remote_sdk-js" async="async" data-wp-strategy="async"></script> <script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jQuery.dotdotdot/3.2.2/jquery.dotdotdot.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=ra-5ddbea4d4cd94315"></script> <script src="https://www.vodafone.co.uk/newscentre/app/themes/news/resources/assets/scripts/meganav.js"></script> <script>!function(e,t,n,s,u,a){e.twq||(s=e.twq=function(){s.exe?s.exe.apply(s,arguments):s.queue.push(arguments);},s.version='1.1',s.queue=[],u=t.createElement(n),u.async=!0,u.src='https://static.ads-twitter.com/uwt.js', a=t.getElementsByTagName(n)[0],a.parentNode.insertBefore(u,a))}(window,document,'script');twq('config','o7s8v');</script> <script type="text/javascript">// Insert Twitter Event ID twq('event', 'tw-o7s8v-ocd63', {});</script> </body></html>
