9th December 2010 (London - Singapore) - Vodafone UK Wholesale today announces an exclusive agreement with TransferTo™, to offer international top up transfer services. This gives Vodafone UK MVNO customers the ability to transfer value from a prepay or postpay account in the UK and apply a top up credit to an international prepay phone. TransferTo™ works with over 165 operators in 60 countries to apply the top up credit to the recipient’s account. |

This partnership further enhances our wholesale portfolio and our position as the wholesale partner of choice"
Eric Barbier, CEO of TransferTo said: “Thanks to this new partnership with Vodafone UK Wholesale, people in this country will be able to send instant gifts to their loved ones from their prepaid phones for the first time”.
