The Brits are so civilized. Vodafone, the European telecommunications company, believes in capitalizing on the digital advantage. Vodafone has actually installed free cell phone chargers in the back of more than 500 black cabs in London. All types of mobile phones are included in the program.

This is a real blessing for Londoners who need to charge their cell phones when they are on-the-go. We wish American cabs offered cell charging stations as well.

We created a quick video to show you how it works. The charging station opens and closes with just a press of a button. It houses multiple charging cords. It’s very simple to use.

Vodafone also allows passengers to pay for their rides by using their phones at no extra charge. Registered users just text the word ‘Taxi,’ plus their taxi’s number and the amount they want to pay, to 31255.

This all seems so natural.
