Petrol Mobile

Petrol Mobile is a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) operating in Bulgaria. The operator is owned by Petrol AD, a Bulgarian company, mainly engaged in oil distribution.

The service was announced on October 20 2008.[1][2]

In the same week, Newspaper Group Bulgaria, which publishes the mass-circulation 24 Chassa and Trud dailies announced its plans to launch MVNO services.[3]

The Petrol Mobile service would start on October 22 2008 and would target the lower end of the market with pre-paid voice services and text messaging (SMS), but no frills like multimedia messaging (MMS) or internet access.

The prepaid package would be sold at Petrol fuelling stations.

Petrol Mobile uses the nationwide Mobiltel network. Petrol Mobile telephone numbers begin with the code 098.[4]
