Plintron provided the technology platform and end to end customer management, enabling Lycamobile to commence its services in Portugal. The move into Portugal will extend Lycamobile's footprint across Europe to over 85% of the European population. Portugal is significant for both Plintron and Lycamobile, as the country has a mid-sized but advanced telecom market, with a growing customer base.

This enables Portuguese residents to call back home for 3 cents per minute to landlines and 9 cents per minute to mobile. Lycamobile will also offer one flat national rate of 8 cents for calls to mobiles, landlines and SMS.

Subaskaran Allirajah, Group Chairman of Lycamobile stated, "Launching in the Portuguese market is a significant milestone for Lycamobile. Not only does it cement our position as having the greatest coverage of the European population than any other mobile operator, it also enables us to provide affordable high quality international calls to the Portuguese communities in countries where Lycamobile already operates".

Mohan Kumar Sundaram, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Plintron said, "Portugal has a modern and flexible telecommunications market with one of the highest mobile phone penetration rates in the world. This launch is delightful for Plintron because of the growth potential it promises, particularly in the MVNA space. We intend to tap MVNA opportunities where existing or new brands can take the MVNA route to telecom, and we are glad we are prepared completely to offer MVNA services as well."
