Virgin Media O2 and Tesco Plc have renewed their Tesco Mobile joint venture for another 10 years to continue the partnership which has been in place for 20 years.

Tesco Mobile now has a customer base of over 5.5 million users.

Lutz Schüler, CEO of Virgin Media O2, commented “
“We have enjoyed great success with Tesco Mobile over the past 20 years, as a partner and a network provider, and I have no doubt that will continue over the next decade. With demand for mobile data greater than ever, we’re continuing to invest heavily in our network to give our customers, and those of other providers who use our connectivity, an even better experience with the fast and reliable mobile services they expect and rely on.”

The MVNO stared as a 50:50 joint venture between Tesco Plc Group and Telefónica UK, Tesco Mobile’s ownership shifted to a shared arrangement with Virgin Media O2 following the merger of Telefónica UK with Virgin Media on 1 June 2021. T
