Orange Belgium and MEDIALAAN sign a full MVNO agreement that welcomes JIM Mobile and Mobile Vikings on the Orange Belgium network

Orange Belgium and MEDIALAAN announce today that they have signed a wholesale partnership for 5 years for the mobile branch of MEDIALAAN: Unleashed, which provides mobile services to residential customers under the Mobile Vikings and JIM Mobile brand. As from spring 2019, Unleashed will migrate the approximately 365,000 customers of Mobile Vikings and JIM Mobile, currently hosted on the Base network,  to surf, call and text via the leading 4G network of Orange Belgium.

Michaël Trabbia, CEO of Orange Belgium, explains: “I am very happy to start a new collaboration with MEDIALAAN, the leading Flemish commercial broadcaster. This full MVNO agreement is more than just a contract. It is the start of a strong long-term partnership based on a shared vision and the complementarity of both companies. I look forward to welcoming the customers of Mobile Vikings and JIM Mobile on our leading 4G network.”

Herbert Vanhove, CEO of Unleashed: "This strategic partnership is excellent news. We are delighted to work with Orange, one of the leading telecom operators in Europe. The match between our companies is there. Orange Belgium has an excellent understanding of our needs as a challenger in the mobile market and fully supports our growth ambitions. As a full MVNO we are indeed able to expand the mobile services that we provide to our customers and community members. For example we will look at the possibility to offer fixed internet solutions in the future, since internet only might be made available as a result of upcoming regulation. Our partnership with Orange on providing telecommunication services is another step in MEDIALAAN’s digital transformation strategy: today MEDIALAAN provides its growing base of youngsters with a strong on line video offering, which it can now complement with a strengthened telecommunication offering.”          

Unmatched customer experience on top quality network

Since many years Orange Belgium has been investing massively in its mobile network to guarantee a top qualitative experience for its customers.

Orange 4G network covers 99.7% of the Belgian population  (coverage maps issued by telecom regulator BIPT).  The recent report of Open Signal (State of the mobile networks: Belgium – March 2018) and the recent BeCover+ results of a well-known consumer organization recognize the top quality of Orange’s 4G network.
