NZ Herald: Vodafone bridges gap between landline and mobile
Vodafone has rung up another new phone offer with a phone that is halfway between a mobile and a landline service.
The phone giant will be marketing the service to target niches such as tradesmen and people who work at home, as it pushes ahead with its own fixed line services - like the new Red Network - and prepares for more competition in the mobile market.

If you own a 3G mobile and resent paying Telecom $50 a month just to have a landline at home, you might want to step into a Vodafone store today and sign up for Local zone.
The first of the much-trumpeted location-based services to be launched, Local zone puts a landline number on your mobile in addition to your mobile number. You simply replace your existing SIM card with a new 256K SIM and then set up your Local zone based on cell-tower triangulation.
