Meanwhile, the news follows rumours that Vodafone is preparing to launch its own social networking platform called Vodafone People, based on the technology behind Zyb, which is acquired last year.
Vodafone bought Danish social networking website Zyb for €31.5m cash in 2008, which it is expected to intregrate with Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube and Bebo.
