Vodafone Voice VPN Solutions
What is a Voice VPN?
• A connection or virtual connection to from a PBX to the Vodafone network allowing
company mobiles to become part of the office (fixed) dial plan, use short code dialling
and benefit from a preferential ‘on-net’ rate.
• On-net dialling within the ‘Closed User Group’ (CUG) from:
Mobile ~ Office
Office ~ Mobile
Mobile ~ Mobile
• Significant reduction in both mobile and office call spends
How Does if Work?
• A ‘Closed User Group’ (CUG) database is created on the Vodafone network
containing company mobile and landline numbers.
• Once created, all calls between numbers in the CUG are flagged as ‘on-net’ and
billed at the preferential on-net rate.
• The user experience does not change unless you chose to offer the option of
mobile short dials or (mobile to mobile and office to mobile) or DDI dialling (mobile
to office DDI).

Vodafone Voice VPN
• Addition of UK sites simply requires the new landline numbers to be added to the CUG
(on the Vodafone network) and a piece of on-site PBX routing work to be carried out by
the PBX maintainer
• Virtual Fixed Link was launched in early 2004 and many of Vodafones largest
customers are now benefiting from the VFL service with no major issues to date
• Short dials and DDI dial-in are available using VFL as with the fixed link MVPN service
• Seamless rollout – NO user impact
Benefits
• On-net rate applied to all calls within the Closed User Group (CUG) i.e. mobile ~
mobile, mobile ~ office and office ~ mobile.
• Shorts dials can be associated with mobile numbers if desired (optional).
• Mobile users can dial direct to office DDI’s if desired (optional).
• Allows multiple sites to be part of the same VPN without the need for expensive
fixed link infrastructure at every site.
• No user education required. The user experience remains the same.
Next Steps
•
Complete the order form
•
Supply a list of all landline numbers (by site) that are to be included in the VPN.
