MVNOs boost Cell C by 1m

Cell C has announce that its partnership with various Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) has brought in over one million customers.

“Over the last few years, Cell C has created a focused strategy to embrace sound partnerships with exceptional brands.  This has allowed us to grow the MVNO base substantially,” says Cell C CEO Jose Dos Santos.

In a demanding market like South Africa customer specific offers are essential to grow market share, he says. MVNOs bring much needed competition and value to the telecommunications industry.

“MVNOs have incredible insights into their customers’ needs and based on those insights they can offer very targeted products,” says Dos Santos.

Cell C has invested significantly in a sophisticated MVNE platform, which allows the company to launch MVNOs in a very efficient manner.  Cell C is currently the only mobile network operator in South Africa to offer a dedicated MVNO/E platform.

FNB, Virgin Mobile, Mr Price Mobile, me&you mobile, Boksel and Smart Mobile all presently use the platform as MVNOs.

“The rise of MVNOs and their success is also testament to the confidence that business and consumers have in Cell C’s network, following significant investments to upgrade, expand, and introduce new technologies like LTE and LTE-Advanced, over the last few years,” says Dos Santos.

In addition to the growth in the MVNO customer base, Cell C has also nearly trebled its total subscriber base in the last four years.  This is off the back of continuous network improvements, innovative services like Wi-Fi Calling and a commitment to value offerings.
