China Telecom Europe has partnered with Everything Everywhere, and its MVNA (Mobile Virtual Network Aggregator) partner, Transatel, to launch the CTExcelbiz MVNO.

The virtual network is a pay-as-you-go service running on the Everything Everywhere network, and specifically aimed at the UKs Chinese population. CTExcelbiz will offer customers Chinese language voicemail services and customer service, as well as unlimited free calls to other CTExcelbiz users.

“We are very excited to launch the CTExcelbiz brand into the UK, and offer the Chinese population here services that have not been available to them before,” says Yan Ou, China Telecom Europe MD. “With increasing numbers of Chinese visitors to the UK, we will be rolling out innovative and targeted mobile services to our customers. These will include the provision of a local Chinese number for friends and family to call; a chat application for customers to share content with each other; and an information service hotline in Chinese targeted at travellers to the UK, to name just a few.”

China Telecom says it will be launching similar services in partnership with Everything Everywhere across other European markets over the coming months.
