These have been very successful not just in emerging markets but also in the European pre-pay market,” said Jens Schulte-Bockum, Global Director of Terminals for Vodafone. “The concept of offering stylish and affordable handsets that are quick and easy to use is certainly appealing to a wide range of customers, especially those who are purchasing and using a mobile for the very first time.
