History

On December 1, 2006, the mobilkom Austria group became the owner of the third mobile telephone licence in Serbia for GSM 900/1800 and UMTS networks, through a payment of €320 million. The license was legally transferred to Vip mobile.

Considering the great potential of the Serbian telecommunications market, the mobilkom Austria group has planned to invest up to € 570 million in its first four years of operations, including the 320 million it spent on acquiring its operating license in Serbia in 2006. This makes Vip mobile the biggest Greenfield investment in Serbia so far.[citation needed] Vip is one of the fastest start-ups of a late entrant worldwide, managing to start its operations in just six months.[citation needed] Vip brand was launched on June 6, 2007. Company started with commercial work in July 2007. The company is very active in marketing campaigns. In 2008, Vip became general sponsor of Serbian national volleyball team.
