Vodafone Romania

Subscriber numbers issued in Romania by Vodafone begin with the three-digit prefixes 072, 073 and 079, followed by a unique seven-digit combination. However, not all such numbers necessarily belong to Vodafone subscribers because of the number portability for mobile telephony networks. On November 2022, the latest auction for the 5G frequencies was completed. The frequencies that Vodafone gained are as follows: • 10 blocks of 10 MHz on the frequency zone of 3400-3800MHz • 2 blocks of 5 MHz on the frequency zone of 700MHz Vodafone was the second highest bidder for the frequencies spending up to 123 million euros. The 5G network became accessible Vodafone Romania subscribers in May 2019. ==Brands of Vodafone==
