Tele2 NL

What Tele2 NL does

Tele2 NL, now operating primarily under the Odido brand, is a Dutch telecommunications provider offering mobile, fiber internet, television, and fixed-line telephony services to consumers and businesses across the Netherlands. Formed through the September 2023 merger of T-Mobile Netherlands and Tele2 under the privately held corporate entity Odido NL Holding B.V. (KvK 33265679, headquartered at Waldorpstraat 60, Berkel en Rodenrijs), the company serves more than 6 million customers through consumer subscriptions, enterprise plans under Odido Zakelijk, and wholesale network access to other carriers under Odido Wholesale. Brand portfolio spans Odido, T-Mobile.nl, Tele2, and Ben.nl; the legacy Tele2 Thuis brand is being phased out, with fixed services transitioning to Odido Internet by 29 May 2026.

The product portfolio spans mobile (Sim Only data bundles from 2 GB through five Unlimited tiers running on a 5G network with speeds up to 1 Gbit/s), home internet (Glasvezel fiber up to 8 Gbit/s symmetric, Standaard DSL up to 100 Mbit/s, and Klik&Klaar 5G fixed-wireless internet up to 300 Mbit/s), television (delivered via Mediabox or the Odido TV App on Samsung, LG, Philips, Sony smart-TVs and Android TV/Apple TV/Fire TV/Chromecast media players, with 65+ channels, 7-day replay, and pause functions), and fixed-line telephony (Vast Bellen and standalone PSTN). Underlying technology includes owned 5G mobile infrastructure, a fiber-to-the-home rollout targeting 1 million homes, cloud-based TV streaming applications, mesh Wi-Fi (Wifi Plus, up to 4 plug-in points), eSIM activation via QR code, and F-Secure-powered cybersecurity (Thuis Veilig Online, Overal Veilig Online). The Start Slim digital parenting platform with Startphone device extends the offering into managed family mobile services.

Revenue is generated predominantly through recurring monthly subscriptions across consumer, business, and wholesale segments, supplemented by hardware sales (smartphones, modems, TV receivers), installation fees, and add-on packages (Odido Extras bundling third-party services such as Videoland, Amazon Prime, HBO Max, SkyShowtime, Viaplay, Podimo, and Deezer). Pricing is postcode-based for fixed services and includes 21% BTW; multi-year contract pricing carries first-year discounts, and Klantvoordeel cross-product bundling reduces effective per-line price for households combining mobile and fixed services. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via online self-service (odido.nl with postcode availability checks and free overstapservice), supplemented by physical Odido Shops, phone sales (0800-0092), dedicated B2B account management through zakelijk.odido.nl, and wholesale carrier partnerships accessing the SPOT API platform for availability, quoting, and ordering.
