Lycamobile signs deal with Vodafone Netherlands

That's about the launch of course. Whether there were disputes arising later about migrating customers or their phone numbers, I don't know.

In the UK, originally Lyca was on Orange, perhaps with ordinary Orange prefixes though I'm not sure. When they launched what they initially called Lycamobile Plus as an mvno on O2 then they had their own number allocations.

Given that Lyca seems to have partnerships with different networks in different countries, without any apparent favourites, it would be surprising if T-mobile UK is carrying this over from the Netherlands.

Maybe it is only that it disagrees with Lyca UK having a higher termination rate [if indeed it does].
