Other Telecom Operators In Race With EE:
All the mobile operators in UK have been trying for many years to launch this service in the first place, but EE has won the race. The company announced its intentions last year and has taken less than 12 months to execute its plans. Among many others, Vodafone has also announced to launch this service in the near future.
