GloCell gets green light to take over Autopage’s Cell C customers and stores

South African independent mobile telecoms group, GloCell, has just received approval to acquire all of now-defunct service provider Altech Autopage’s Cell C customer base.

Altech Autopage shut down last year in November, due to “ongoing mobile termination rate reductions and continued industry and consumer deflationary pressures”.

This meant that mobile network subscribers who had signed up for contracts through Autopage, had to be moved to the original mobile network, if they chose to keep their contracts.

The Competition Commission of South Africa approved the proposed acquisition, meaning GloCell is now a Cell C licensed partner.

“We are naturally pleased that the competition commission has ruled in favour of the transaction, and we look forward to delivering new ground-breaking personalised services to our subscribers and their families, also better value,” Alessandro Mariola, founder and MD of GloCell, said in a statement.

Mariola explained that GloCell is now in the process of taking over and rebranding many of Autopage’s national outlets and turning them into what he terms “experience stores” and re-branding them as GloCell stores.
