Mobile Phone Provider Profile
Virgin Mobile is a major provider of mobile communications
services within the UK, with more than four million
customers. Virgin Mobile launched its operations as
a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) in November
1999. As we are an MVNO, we operate a virtual network
providing a broad range of mobile communications services
to our customers over T-Mobile's network under our non-exclusive,
minimum ten year term, telecommunications supply agreement
with T-Mobile signed in January 2004.
Since our inception, we have achieved a number of significant
milestones. Within a year of our launch, we had over
500,000 customers, and by June 2001, we had over one
million customers, making us the fastest major UK mobile
communications provider to have achieved that milestone
to date. On 29th April 2004 Virgin Mobile had reached
more than four million customers.
We believe that we have differentiated ourselves from
our competitors by challenging market convention and
implementing customer-friendly, first-to-market activities
in the UK with a design-led, irreverent style.
Virgin Mobile employs more than 1,400 staff on four
sites, Trowbridge, London, Daventry and Middlesbrough.
It has been voted one of the top 50 places to work in
Britain for two years running in an annual Financial
Times survey.
Virgin Mobile started as a joint venture between Virgin
and T-Mobile. In January 2004 in connection with the
settlement of various disputes involving Virgin Mobile,
T-Mobile and certain Virgin Group companies, Virgin
purchased from T-Mobile all of the shares that T-Mobile
owned in Virgin Mobile.
