MikkelVinter, CEO and Founder of Virgin Mobile Middle East and Africa, said, “To be recognised with the main award by our global MVNO peers is a gratifying accomplishment, we have been able to achieve this success of Virgin Mobile Middle East and Africa only because of the hard work and determination of our team.

It has had particular success in Oman where it currently has over 10 percent of the market share, which is among the highest of any MVNO globally, as well as in Saudi Arabia where a customer base of over 1 million was reached within a year of becoming the first fully licensed MVNO to launch in Saudi Arabia.
