Vitel Wireless (Vitel) stated on Thursday that it has achieved a significant milestone in the Nigerian telecom sector by being the first Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) in the country to be given a mobile number series by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).
The company claims that Vitel Wireless’ assignment of mobile number series 0712 marks a turning point in Nigeria’s developing MVNO sector.
It said: “Historically, the Nigerian MVNO market has been tightly regulated, with only a few players entering under stringent licensing requirements.”
“Vitel’s emergence as a fully licensed MVNO, complete with its own number series, highlights the country’s growing openness to competitive and innovative telecom solutions aimed at improving service delivery and accessibility.”

The business said that it is now ready to introduce and provide cutting-edge, reasonably priced, and client-focused services throughout Nigeria.
