Maurice For You> Vodafone extends its range Evening Standard IF you're heading to the United States you can now take your existing Vodafone mobile phone number with you and use it -- just as you can when travelling around Australia, the United Kingdom and more than 50 other countries. Last week Vodafone announced its customers can autoRoam in 1049 cities in the United States. However, it would be worth checking before you head off, as the service is available, at the moment, in only 29 states. Customers can hire a phone that works on the American 1900 Mhz frequency and insert their SIMcard, which contains their own phone number and pre-programmed information. The company also has a mobile "world phone" operating on both the American and New Zealand frequencies, which means travellers no longer have to rent and perhaps use another number. Until now mobile phone use has been complicated for some Kiwis. If you wanted to travel through various states, you had to repeat the rental and new phone number process every time you entered a new state, as they operate on different networks. (Copyright 1999)
