Telekom Romania

What Telekom Romania does

Telekom Romania Mobile Communications S.A. is a Romanian mobile telecommunications operator providing postpaid subscriptions, prepaid SIM cards, and business mobile solutions across Romania via a national 5G network. The company serves three primary customer segments: residential consumers (mobile voice, data, SMS, and roaming), business customers (enterprise mobile services including IoT, data centre, cybersecurity, and cloud infrastructure), and wholesale/operator clients (regulated interconnection, voice termination, collocation, and MVNO network access). Its technology stack comprises national 5G/GSM mobile infrastructure, RO-NET fiber for wholesale access, and the MyAccount digital self-service platform available as a mobile app and desktop application.

The company's business model is structured around recurring subscription revenue from postpaid plans, prepaid top-ups, and managed services for B2B clients, with pricing starting at €18 per month for personalized Vodafone offers. Distribution spans physical retail stores (magazines), the telekom.ro website, MyAccount app, 24/7 call centers (1944 residential, 1933 business), direct enterprise sales teams, and wholesale/MVNO channels. Marketing leverages multi-channel engagement including social media (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn), email newsletters, and a referral program.

As of October 2025, Telekom Romania was acquired by Vodafone Romania for €30 million (postpaid business), with Digi Romania separately acquiring the prepaid customer base. The company is undergoing a full legal merger with Vodafone Romania scheduled for June 30, 2026. Headquartered at Globalworth Tower in Bucharest (Str. Barbu Văcărescu nr. 201, sector 2), the company employs 1,001-5,000 staff and operates as a subsidiary of Vodafone Romania S.A. following the divestiture from former parent Hellenic Telecommunications Organization S.A. (OTE).
