Customers signing up for Vo- dafone Star Plan until 30th no- vember 2015 can benefit from a fantastic introductory offer of only €20 per month instead of €25 per month for the full term of a two year deal, which includes a SIM and a 4G smartphone as well. The plan offers many ben- efits every month - free calls and SMSs to local Vodafone numbers (1,000 minutes and 1,000 SMSs); 100 units to any local network at any time of the day which can be used for voice calls or texts (1 Unit = 1 minute or 1 SMS); 500MB of mobile internet at 4G speeds. The advantage of the Vodafone Star Plan is that customers can never go over this monthly limit unless they choose to by topping- up. Even then, they will benefit from Vodafone's best value out- of-bundle rates, with 1 unit cost- ing only 15c per minute for calls and 15c per SMS, and mobile internet at only €2 per 100MB, thanks to Vodafone's worry-free RELAX internet service. "Vodafone is continually aim- ing to meet our customers' changing needs. We felt that there are customers out there who are attracted to the value and f lexibility which typically a monthly plan offers, but who may hold back because they don't want to be continually worrying about exceeding their limit," ex- plained Alexia Mula, Marketing Executive at Vodafone Malta. "This is why we came up with the Vodafone Star Plan, which offers the best value bundle of calls, SMSs and mobile inter- net on the island, but where the customer can never go out-of- bundle unless he or she chooses to top-up." The f lexibility doesn't stop there. Customers can opt for ei- ther a one-year SIM only deal or a two-year deal which includes a free 4G smartphone.
