Say hi to CMLink
Despite not having access to UK spectrum, China Mobile, the world’s largest mobile network operator by subscribers, has decided to launch in the UK as an MVNO (mobile virtual network operator) using the CMLink brand.
EE will be China Mobile's launch partner for the service, with Transtel rumoured to be the designated MVNE. CMLink is a PAYG (pay as you go) offer with free calls and texts to CMLink and China Mobile users.
With nearly 900 million subscribers and revenues that significantly outstrip its competitors, China Mobile is a true giant to be reckoned with.
But Virgin Mobile and other existing MVNOs won't need to worry as CMLink's target audience does not overlap with theirs - at least not yet for the momemt.
Today's launch could be considered as an extension to the company's national network, rather than an attempt to compete local rivals.
Keep an eye on their auto-renewing monthly packs offer though, which are reasonably priced and could prove to be attractive to some niche verticals.
