[edit] Partner Networks
Partner Networks are networks that co-operate with Vodafone. This arrangement does not involve any equity transactions. It allows the Vodafone brand to be extended to markets where the Vodafone does not own a local company. Products resulting from this agreement are sometimes marketed using dual brand formula, wherein the Vodafone is put after the local brand.
