The acquisition of Chippie, which operates on the same high quality network as Lebara Mobile, KPN, further strengthens Lebara Mobile’s position in the market.
Yoganathan Ratheesan, CEO at Lebara, commented: “It’s been a very exciting year so far for Lebara and this acquisition further establishes us as the market leader in our segment. Lebara Mobile has been a strong performer in the Netherlands since its launch and given that over 20% of the Dutch population has international roots, we believe that there is a huge opportunity for us to continue to grow. We look forward to welcoming Chippie’s customers to our high quality service.”
With international calls from just 3 cents per minute, national calls from 5 cents per minute (both with a 24 cent start rate per call) and texts to anywhere in the world for 10 cents each, Chippie customers can now expect the same low cost, high quality service with honest and open pricing that has already attracted in excess of 2.5 million active customers to Lebara Mobile globally. Chippie customers can also access the dedicated multi-lingual customer services team, who can answer queries in Dutch, English, Turkish and Chinese, 7 days a week from 9am to 9pm.
