GOMO can be found in four markets — Singapore ( Log in or register to view links), Ireland ( Log in or register to view links), Thailand ( Log in or register to view links), and the Philippines ( Log in or register to view links).
The earliest information we can find about its existence is when Singapore's Singtel introduced GOMO on March 25, 2019, calling it a new all-digital mobile product. If you're wondering what GOMO stands for, it's 'Go Out More Often', according to Mr. Yuen Kuan Moon, CEO of Consumer Singapore at Singtel.
In October 2019, 'GoMo' launched in Ireland operating on the Eir Limited network.
In May 2020, it launched in Thailand on the AIS (Advanced Info Service) network.
Then in October 2020, it launched in the Philippines on the Globe Telecom network.
Globe filed for the GOMO trademark in its SEC FORM 17-A dated April 2020.
What kind of operator is GOMO?
GOMO calls itself a fully digital telco. What it means is that it's a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO). It's an entity that offers services similar to a mobile network operator (MNO) such as Globe and Smart but doesn't own any radiofrequency. What happens is that the MVNO enters into a business agreement with an MNO so it can use the latter's network for its services.
It's similar to how Cosmic Technology's Cherry Prepaid is powered by Globe. That's why GOMO Singapore runs on Singtel, GOMO Ireland on Eir, GOMO Thailand on AIS, and GOMO PH on Globe.
