Vodafone offers unlimited music downloads

02 November 2007

Vodafone's new MusicStation service takes iTunes head on by offering unlimited music downloads for the duration of a contract.

For a fixed weekly fee of £1.99 per week, Vodafone customers will have access to over 1.2 million tracks, from the major and independent record labels, which they will be able to download and share with other Vodafone users.

The service will be available on 13 Vodafone handsets at launch, including the LG KU990 Viewty, a touchscreen phone which happens to look a lot like the Apple iPhone. MusicStation ready Vodafone handsets are now available from 428 Phones4u outlets and 345 Vodafone outlets.

Current Vodafone customers can download MusicStation free of charge to a wide range of compatible GPRS/3G/HSDPA handsets and enjoy a free week's trial of the service.

Phones 4 U will be launching a range of Music Meal Deals from £43.62 a month, where MusicStation is bundled within Vodafone tariffs.

Girls Aloud were there to launch the MusicStation service with a live early morning performance. No big news for Mobile Choice, of course, as we also saw the same band launch the Samsung F210 Purple with an evening sho a month ago. Now that's showbiz.
