German supermarket giant Lidl (Schwarz Group) has reportedly announced plans to launch its own mobile (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) service in a number of other markets later this year, which could eventually reach up to 30 countries including the UK, US, France and Spain etc.<\/p>\n

At present there’s no shortage of MVNO options in the UK market and so you might think that introducing another wouldn’t make much sense. But other supermarket and high street retail chains have had some success in leveraging their market position to make a larger dent in the market (e.g. ASDA<\/a>, Tesco Mobile<\/a>, iD Mobile<\/a> [Currys] and Superdrug Mobile<\/a> etc.). According to the FT<\/a> (paywall), Lidl may soon join them.<\/p>\n

However, Lidl has yet to confirm which countries are on its expansion list or precisely when they’ll follow or which mobile operator they’ll partner with (EE<\/a>, O2<\/a> or VodafoneThree), although any announcement would come hot on the heels of Lidl GB announcing that it will be opening more than 50 new UK stores in the next 12 months as part of a \u00a3600m investment in its British infrastructure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
