History

edit

On 23 January 2017 the company was founded to operate as a low-cost operator of Vodafone.[3]

The launch of the service took place on June 22, 2018 a few weeks after Iliad arrived in Italy.[4]

Although it received authorization from the Ministry of Economic Development to operate as a Full MVNO and only under the 379-1 prefix, the operator was launched as an ESP MVNO, adopting the 377-08 and 377-09 prefixes. Later the area codes 379-1 and 379-2 were introduced.[5]
