Carphone Warehouse, which has 82 stores around the country, has been dealt a blow with the news that the country’s largest operator, Vodafone Ireland, is to stop selling its phones and plans in the chain. Customers who bought their Vodafone phones or plans through Carphone Warehouse will continue to be “supported”, a spokesperson told Independent.ie. “We continuously review our business models and processes,” a Vodafone spokesperson told Independent.ie. It’s a significant setback for Carphone Warehouse, a sister company of Currys and which is owned by Dixons Carphone. Carphone Warehouse is still licking the wounds of a €20m loss on its own mobile operator, iD Mobile, launched in 2015.
