The leading international brand in the field of digital services in CEE arrived in Serbia
Belgrade, April 7.2021. – As of today, Vip mobile has executed its previously announced rebranding and now appears under the A1 brand, which is strongly established in the CEE region. A1 will provide users with a unique digital experience by offering convincing services and solutions for life, work and entertainment in the digital age. This step is part of the broader strategy of the A1 Telekom Austria Group, a leader in digital services and communication solutions in the CEE region, to underpin its strong position in the European market by operating under one single brand across its footprint.

All existing and new users can enjoy free usage of add ons of their choice every month until the end of 2021, which they can activate through the My A1 app.
The company also announced significant improvements in network infrastructure, expansion of 4G network capacity and even greater improvement of data services. Additional infrastructural expansions are planned throughout the country, especially in the area of Belgrade and Vojvodina, which will improve the user experience to as much as 70 percent of the network.

This is a special moment for both A1 Telekom Austria Group and Serbia. As of today, we are officially operating under one consistent, powerful brand in all our seven core markets. The A1 brand is perceived as a preferable and particularly trustworthy partner in unleashing the full potential of digitalization for businesses, consumers, and the public sector. With our continuous investments in digital infrastructure, we are building the foundation for future economic growth and prosperity in the region.
