Standard Bank became the 19th mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) on the Cell C network.<\/p>\n<p>The bank&#8217;s mobile network is hosted by MVN-X, Cell C&#8217;s partner for enabling MVNOs.<\/p>\n<p>Cell C said it has seen excellent growth in the MVNO space, with South Africa catching up to global trends in terms of MVNO adoption.<\/p>\n<p>Cell C launched its wholesale business unit in 2014, offering a platform for MVNOs to sign up on the network &#8211; but its first virtual network operator was Virgin Mobile SA, which launched in 2006.<\/p>\n<p>Cell C has stated that there are 1.7 million subscribers signed up for MVNOs on its mobile network, and this number continues to grow.<\/p>\n<p>With the recent launch of Standard Bank Mobile, we take a look at every one of Cell
