Vodafone revolutionises business tolls market

The price of landline toll calls for business is slashed by up to 60%*

Vodafone is bringing true competition to the landline market for the first time in New Zealand with its new package of business toll prices.

Business customers who switch their toll calling to ‘Vodafone at work - tolls’ will receive dramatically reduced rates on calls to the most popular numbers including: Vodafone mobiles, national landline numbers and Australian landlines.

“Vodafone realised the business tolls market was woefully underserved so, in conjunction with our landline provider ihug, we produced the Vodafone at work - tolls plan,” says Kursten Shalfoon, Vodafone’s GM of Products and Services.

“For the first time there is a truly competitive, one-stop shop for all business communications needs that will dramatically reduce the cost of business calls.”

“Customers will be able to keep their existing phone numbers and still take advantage of the savings. We’ll handle the transfer, all they have to do is sign up.”

Vodafone at work - tolls is free to join and customers only pay for calls they make. There is no minimum monthly spend and no term contract to sign.

Businesses that move all tolls and mobile services to Vodafone can make the greatest savings with the Vodafone at work - tolls plus plan.
