Network Description

One.Tel, operating in Australia (Oceania), was a notable mobile network provider with the Mobile Country Code (MCC) 505 and Mobile Network Code (MNC) 99. While no longer operational, One.Tel played a significant role in shaping the Australian telecommunications landscape. Established in the mid-1990s, it gained considerable traction, particularly among younger demographics, through aggressive marketing and innovative pricing strategies. One.Tel offered a range of mobile services, including voice calls, SMS, and early forms of data connectivity, competing directly with established giants like Telstra and Optus. The company aimed to disrupt the market by offering simpler plans and targeting budget-conscious consumers.

Despite its initial success, One.Tel faced significant financial difficulties and ultimately collapsed in 2001. The circumstances surrounding its insolvency led to high-profile investigations and legal battles. While short-lived, One.Tel’s presence made an impact on the choices available to Australian mobile users. The legacy of One.Tel can be seen as an example of how competition within the Australian mobile network sector helped influence the current competitive ecosystem benefiting consumers. Today, mobile networks like Telstra, Optus and Vodafone dominate the Oceania region for their home country, Australia, and it is in part due to companies like One.Tel helping to shape and change the marketplace through innovation and driving competition.
