It has been 13 years since the first mobile virtual network operator entered the SA market with much fanfare. More than a decade later the MVNOs, which lease network infrastructure from mobile operators to sell data and voice services, have failed to gain traction and shake up the industry.

In 2018, Cell C said it made R486m out of a total R7.8bn for the six months to June from its MVNO customers.
