Mirs became the sole provider of wireless service to the IDF following the end of the IDF contract with Pelephone in 2006. The IDF offers free Mirs phones to its commissioned officers and those soldiers in its standing army whose jobs require it.

In 2011 Mirs was one of two winners for new nationwide UMTS network licenses from the Israeli Ministry of Communications. The company expects to launch its new UMTS-2100 network by mid-2012.
