UK based global mobile phone company Vodafone has announced a deal with the News Corp owned MySpace that will see Vodafone customers in the UK having access to the popular social networking site via their mobile phones.

The deal ties MySpace exclusively to Vodafone in the UK market and will help increase the appeal of Vodafone in the key teen and 18-30 marketplace, the core user demographics of MySpace.

The Manchester Evening News quotes a joint release from both companies stating “The partnership will enable millions of Vodafone customers to access MySpace mobile, allowing them to edit their own MySpace profiles, find and add friends, post photos and blogs and send and receive MySpace messages while on the move,”.

No word yet as to whether deal extends into other major markets in which Vodafone has a presence, including Europe, South Africa, Asia and Australia.
