T-Mobile UK
T-Mobile (UK) Limited, trading as T-Mobile UK, was a mobile network operator in the UK. First launched as Mercury One2One (stylised one2one) on 7 September 1993, the network was originally operated by Mercury Communications. One2One was purchased by Deutsche Telekom in 1999, who rebranded it with their global T-Mobile brand name in 2002.
In 1999, One2One became the world's first network to provide wireless network infrastructure to a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) when Virgin Mobile was launched as a joint venture between One2One and Virgin Group.
In 2010, Orange UK merged into T-Mobile UK to form a joint venture, Everything Everywhere, which continued to operate the T-Mobile and Orange brands until March 2015 and allowed T-Mobile customers to utilise Orange's 2G signal and vice versa.
In 2012, Everything Everywhere launched their new network branding as EE. T-Mobile SIM cards remained fully supported by EE, who are ultimately owned by BT since they acquired the company in January 2016 for £12.5 billion.
The network was originally launched as Mercury One2One, a GSM mobile network operated by the now-defunct Mercury Communications. It was the world's first GSM 1800 network when it was launched in September 1993.
In 1997 it was rebranded simply as One2One, when it was operated for a short time as a joint venture between Cable & Wireless plc and American cable provider Mediaone Group, which had a number of investments in Britain dating back to its days as the US West Media Group. During this time One2One used a high-profile TV campaign featuring celebrities such as Ian Wright, Kate Moss and John McCarthy.
The network was purchased by Deutsche Telekom in 1999 and rebranded as T-Mobile UK in summer 2002.
T-Mobile offered both pay-as-you-go and pay-monthly contract phones. The pay-monthly contracts consisted of set numbers of minutes and 'flexible boosters' which allow the customer to change them month to month depending on their needs. Prior to this T-Mobile had a contract option known as 'Flext' which gave the user an amount of money to use for calls, texts, MMS and mobile internet as necessary. This was withdrawn in early 2010. There is no warning when pay-monthly customers exceed their monthly inclusive limit, leading to unexpectedly large bills. T-Mobile launched their 3G UMTS services in the Autumn of 2003.
