* When 1&1 launches its network scheduled to happen at the end of next month, all its 4G customers will start using national roaming services on Telefonica's network until national roaming on Vodafone's network is available. | |||
* Until 1&1 customers can be supplied with 5G roaming from Vodafone network, 1&1 will provide its customers 5G services under the previous MVNO-model, provided either by Telefonica or Vodafone. | |||
