mobinil is Egypt's first mobile phone operator. Founded in 1998, it was the first company to make use of the GSM system in Egypt. The company is partly held by Orange and Orascom Telecom.
mobinil is expected to rebrand as Orange in the near future.
[edit] Coming competition
Recently, the Egyptian Government - represented by the ministry of ICT and the national telecom regulatory authority (NTRA) - had launched a bid for a third mobile phone operator (landlines and public data networks are still monopolized by Telecom Egypt) in its efforts to end the so-called duopoly of Vodafone and mobinil. After long scrutiny, a consortium led by the UAE-based Etisalat and includes two local banks and the government-owned Egypt Post won the bid, paying a record L.E 16.7 Billion for the license fees for both 2G and 3G service classes. The name of the third company remains unknown until the time of posting this update. The expected launch date is Q1 2007.
