Virgin Mobile France is a cellular telephone company owned by SFR. It launched in 2006 as a joint venture between Virgin Group and Carphone Warehouse. The company operates as a Mobile virtual network operator (MVNO), whereby it does not own or operate its own mobile network, but instead uses the network of Orange S.A. As of June 2014, the company is the largest MVNO in France, with 1.5 million customers, and had a market share of 1.3% at the beginning of 2014.[1]
Carphone Warehouse and Virgin Group reached an agreement to sell their holdings to the French cable operator Numericable in June 2014 for €325 million, subject to regulatory approval.[2] The sale was completed on 5 December 2014.[3]
In November 2015, Numericable-SFR (now SFR) announced it would discontinue use of the Virgin Mobile brand, moving customers on fixed-term plans to its SFR brand, and those without contracts to its RED brand.[4]
