Vodafone Ireland today said its customer base had risen 10,000 in the three months to the end of June to just under 2.2 million.
But average monthly revenue per user dropped by almost 7 per cent to €45.40 compared with the same period last year, although this was slightly up on the previous quarter, the company said
Vodafone Ireland chief Charles Butterworth said sales of its 3G broadband service had increased 50 per cent in the quarter to reach 30,000 in total.
He added the company had no plans to make any further cuts in Irish staff numbers as it had completed a reorganisation.
The firm's parent, Vodafone Group, posted robust first-quarter revenue and customer growth today as booming business in India and Turkey helped offset tough German and Italian markets.
Vodafone said group revenues climbed 7.5 per cent to £8.3 billion. Excluding acquisitions, organic revenue growth was 4 per cent as fierce competition in markets such as Germany and Italy overshadowed a stronger performance in Spain and Britain.
