History[edit]

In June 2009, Primetel announced the launch of its submarine fiber cable landing station in Geroskipou and that Reliance Globalcom had terminated its 2.7 terabit HAWK submarine cable system into it.[2]

In May 2011, Primetel launched the first mobile virtual network operator in Cyprus, making it the third cellphone operator on the island.[3] Primetel has recently launched Mobile telephony services with Quad–Play services (Fixed and mobile telephony, Internet and TV).[citation needed]

In April 2015, Primetel launched the third mobile network operator in Cyprus.[3] Based on the latest data[example needed] released in December 2018, Primetel holds 10.50% Market Share in Mobile Subscriptions in Cyprus.[citation needed]

In July 2023, Primetel was placed into administration after defaulting on a loan it has acquired from Signal Capital Partners.[4]
