Books on Mobile Service Launched By Vodafone

Mon, 06 Oct 2008

Vodafone has launched a new entertainment service that provides customers with books on their mobiles .

The company’s new ‘Books on Mobile’ service, designed in conjunction with website GoSpoken.com, allows Vodafone users to download books worth between £5 and £15 to their mobile handsets, with purchases added to their monthly phone bills .

Customers can also download audio or e-book versions of the latest blockbusters, or simply sample chapters of their favourite books in audio and text .

The new service has been made possible due to High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) technology, which provides faster data speeds, meaning a three-hour audio book can be downloaded in just three minutes.

Mike Eaton, head of content at Vodafone UK, said: "We’re very excited to bring UK’s bestselling authors to mobiles . Our customers want simplicity and services that are easy to select, buy and use."

"Today with our new price plans Vodafone customers have the confidence to browse the internet on mobile for as long as they need with no extra costs when sampling or downloading the latest book releases," he added.
