O2 takes lead in post-pay/bill pay mobile market

O2 HAS made further dents in Vodafone’s market leader position in the Irish mobile communications provider market, by becoming — for the first time — the leader in the post-pay/bill pay mobile phone market and increasing its overall customer base.

Latest second quarter figures for O2 Ireland — which is owned by Spain’s Telefonica — showed customer numbers of just under 1.72 million people for the three months to the end of June.

This was up 1.7% on the same quarter last year.
