History

edit

In April 1999 Tele2 founded its Italian branch, Tele2 Italia.[citation needed]

On 6 October 2007, as also happened in Spain, it was acquired by Vodafone.[5][1] This operation is completed in December. The company thus changed its name to Opitel, temporarily maintaining the Tele2 brand.

No longer being linked to Tele2, from 1 January 2010 the operator's brand name was changed, which thus became TeleTu.[6] On January 4, the company name was also changed to TeleTu.

On 1 October 2012 TeleTu, following the merger by incorporation with Vodafone,[3] began selling its products under the Vodafone brand. From 1 April 2015 the TeleTu brand was officially abandoned in favor of that of the parent company and all those who were its customers automatically switched to Vodafone.[4]
