Mobile phone company Meteor goes in search of roaming facilities

METEOR, the third mobile phone operator in Ireland, believes it has a cast iron case for access to roaming facilities on the transmission systems of the two major players in the market.

Meteor was the last to enter the Irish mobile market two years ago and access to the transmission system of Vodafone and 02 would nail criticism of it not having national coverage.

The group has 85% transmission and full coverage in the Leinster area where nearly two-thirds of the mobile phone population is based.
