Vodafone Italia is struggling against Iliad: here are the latest offers to try to counter the giant

Get them before it’s too late.

The question that has taken center stage in the last two years – that is, the fate of Vodafone Italy – found a solution a few weeks ago, when it was announced that the agreement that would lead to his had been reached acquisition by Swisscoma Swiss telecommunications giant, which plans to merge with Fastwebalso owned by him, by the first quarter of 2025.

Despite now being on its last legs as an independent company, Vodafone Italia has nevertheless decided to fire its last cartridges: so let’s see what the most convenient and recent offers put in place by the Italian branch of the shaky British company are.

The last fires

The last two years have been difficult for Vodafone, the British telecommunications giant: has discontinued various branches around the worldlike Vodafone Spain, sold en bloc to the Zegona Communications fund for 5 billion euros, and carried out the spin-off of both Vodafone Hungary and Vodafone Ghana. As regards Vodafone Italia, the financial reports of the last quarters had recorded a downward trend, with revenues in constant decline. From 2022 to today, a tug of war has taken place between various companies intending to compete for the acquisition of Vodafone Italia. Iliad he tried repeatedly: a first unsuccessful attempt was made two years ago offering the considerable sum of 11.25 billion eurosbut Vodafone had refused.

Needless to say, this was the most advantageous offer, and the company would have been wise to accept it. The next offer, which arrived at the end of 2022, was in fact equal to 10.45 billion, but the British company rejected this too. At this point Iliad lost interest and took over Fastwebwhich started negotiations during 2023, and then reached conclusion at the beginning of this year, when managed to strike the deal for “only” 8 billion euros. In short, Vodafone prevaricated too much and has now had to settle for a low-cost agreement, but at least the Italian employees should have been largely saved thanks to this agreement.

There is less than a year left until Vodafone’s dissolution as an independent company, so let’s examine the offers it currently has in the field to understand if there is anything convenient.

Svuotatutto: Vodafone Italia’s farewell offers

Vodafone recently made some tariff updates to its rechargeable and fixed rate plan offerings. In particular, here are the mobile offers:

Furthermore, for those who already own a fixed line, the company offers a network offer for second homes (regardless of FTTE or FTTH technology) at a monthly fee of €27.90 plus an activation cost of €39. €.99.
