Interesting effort!

A suggestion. In Greece there is actually one network that might be classified as MVNO and that is Q telecom. They use the vodafone network for most part of Greece although they show some coverage in the capital (Athens) and some parts os Thessaloniki (second largest city).

Yes, true, Q-Telecom is almost a MVNO, but they have a license and some network, even if so little... quite a strange operator...

This MVNO directory is free and covers the whole world :)

Yeah, I know that site, but there are several mistakes, dead operators, MVNEs and postpaid-only MVNOs, so I wanted to write a list with virtual operators offering prepaid cards in EU.

edit - actually, apologies as it appears that BT only have monthly postpaid accounts now - either they always did and my memory is defective, or they ceased prepaid - probably the former as it would go on the monthly landline bill

maybe I should delete this then

In UK, BT Mobile has been an mvno on 3 different networks now

When British Telecom still owned O2, then it was natural that they would market mobile deals to their landline customers. When O2 was floated off separately on the stock market, they eventually drifted apart to the point where BT signed mvno deals elsewhere

But even then, private and business BT customers were on different networks to begin with. Home customers were on T-mobile. Then BT signed a deal with Vodafone for corporate customers, then in Jan last year agreed to migrate the personal ones there too.

It isn't only available to BT customers, but sold separately as well.

They recently launched so-called Fusion phones, which are GSM and landline hybrid tariff, maybe later using wi-fi and broadband/VoIP at home I think, or a cheap interim homezone tariff (not sure which)

Can't get links at the moment, as some of their site is offline - only the national network!

Here's their site:

Thanks - yes I had the links but didn't post them yet in case they had changed - they were offline an hour ago

edit - as I've put in the above post, maybe my memory was defective about them ever having prepaid, so really this shouldn't be on there anyway

I don't have a link but I was reading somewhere the other day that by the end of 2005 Q Telecom had 50% population coverage as specified as one of the conditions of being granted a license.

Ventelo UK they appear to merely be a company offering vodafone contracts for corporate pay monthly customers.
