MTV Mobile tops 1 million subscribers in France, sells 100k MTV phones
By Ilinca Nita on 24 Mar 09The MTV brand needs no introduction, so the fact that it’s successful even in the mobile industry may not be such a big surprise.
However, it’s definitely worth noting that MTV Mobile has topped 1 million subscribers in France since April 23 2008 (when it was launched via SFR – the second largest French carrier).
Moreover, helped by SFR, MTV sold more than 100,000 of its own-branded phones (including the MTV 3.4, released in November 2008) – mainly to young mobile users, of course.

It’s said that a touchscreen MTV handset will be soon introduced in France, and this will probably attract even more customers.
MTV Mobile is also present in Italy, as a MVNO that uses TIM’s network, but, at the moment, there is no data about its subscriber base.
