Masmovil migrates over 1 mln Euskaltel, R and Virgin Telco clients to Yoigo network

Spanish telecommunications group has migrated over 1 million customers of Euskaltel, R and Virgin Telco to its own Yoigo network from that of Orange in the space of just 3 weeks. The figure is equivalent to around 80 percent of Euskaltel’s customer base of 1.2 million and the move comes a few months after Masmovil finalised its EUR 2 billion acquisition of the Euskaltel group and its brands (R, Telecable and Euskaltel in northern Spain and Virgin Telco nationwide).

Customers will now be able to access the best available coverage at all times thanks to the network’s automatic selection service and Masmovil's wholesale agreements with other operators, mainly Orange Spain. In October, Masmovil and Euskaltel CEO Meinrad Spenger announced plans to invest EUR 350 million in the Basque Country over the next 3 years to extend and upgrade Euskaltel’s fibre-optic network and launch new 5G services.
