As noted in SberMobile, the use of MegaFon networks will allow the virtual operator to expand the coverage area, increase the possibilities of international roaming and introduce new digital solutions for b2c and b2b users. Thus, partners plan to develop such areas of work as spam protection, cybersecurity and M2M technologies. In addition, it is planned to create virtual PBXs and omnichannel communications solutions integrated with CRM platforms under the SberMobile brand.

Earlier, SberMobile used only Tele2's telecom infrastructure. By the beginning of 2024, this mobile operator is present in all regions, but does not have its own network everywhere, working on free national roaming, says Sergey Polovnikov, head of Content Review.

There is a possibility that MVNO operators working on the Tele2 network can officially launch only in those regions where there is a company network. This may be due to the peculiarities of the allocation of number capacity, it is tied to the regions, - the expert explained in a conversation with Kommersant.

Managing partner of TMT Consulting Konstantin Ankilov estimated SberMobile's share in the Russian mobile market at less than 1% (by the number of subscribers).^[1]
