Virgin Mobile France, the 4th French mobile operator, has appointed GetJar to provide its entire catalogue of free mobile applications for its newly announced mobile app store to be launched this Wednesday. The launch of Virgins app store coincides with the release of Virgins new unlimited voice, SMS and data plans. The announcement further broadens GetJars range of industry partnerships, which already includes Sony Ericsson and 3 UK. Consumers in France will be offered access to over 45,000 free apps via the Virgin Mobile portal, alongside other content including ringtones and premium games.
As the worlds largest independent app store, GetJar has been providing mobile applications to consumers since 2005 and now receives over 1 million downloads a day across more than 200 countries.  The company boasts over 200,000 developer accounts and has been delivering millions of downloads for leading applications developers and content owners such as Google, Facebook, YouTube, Nimbuzz, and eBuddy among others
GetJars track record, extensive cross platform catalogue, scale and expertise were really what we were looking for in an app store partner, says Virgin Mobile France Marketing and Communication Director, Julien Allisy. We can immediately offer our consumers who subscribed to our new unlimited data plans the largest range of apps on the largest range of handsets, via a platform which is trusted around the world.
