www.WirelessFederation.com/news: Clean up of the subscriber base has been planned by Vodafone’s Irish subsidiary by disconnecting lines which have not been used for eight months. Any outstanding credit on accounts would be held by the operator under this plan and will not be returned to the end user.

The terms and conditions of the new restrictions will be explained by the company and it will be published next month. The strategy behind this move is also to recycle mobile numbers deemed to be no longer in use.

According to a Vodafone Ireland spokesperson, the changes will have a minimal impact on customer numbers but it is mindful ‘of the concerns of a very small number of customers who may consciously omit to top up their accounts for a prolonged period of time for specific reasons.
