Vodafone has bought the Lebara Australian mobile business, taking over the brand and adding the virtual network operator's local users to its own customer base.
The Lebara brand will continue to operate and its customers will see no change to their service as the company already uses Vodafone's 4G network, Vodafone says.
That's a real shame. I often tell my friends about the excellent customer service I get from Lebara. I can't imagine that Vodafone will have any interest in maintaining that standard.
Vodafone's customer support is actually quite good now…
