Mobitel provided both wireline and Wireless Local Loop (WLL) solution and was considered a pioneer in the Nigerian market. The company underwent a challenging period in 2005 following the death of its CEO, and ultimately ceased operations in 2006 with a subscriber base of nearly 20,000. Mobitel was acquired 100% in June 2008 by a new investor consortium led by Omni-Ventures Limited. Mobitel was awarded 2.3GHz frequency for National coverage on the 22nd of March 2010 after haven won the license in a bid process that took place in May 2009.
