Both Geoworks and Virgin Mobile recently became members of Radicchio, a consortium of mobile e-commerce companies dedicated to unleashing the potential of secure transactions over wireless networks. The companies plan to continue their collaboration in an effort to develop advanced mobile media and commerce services. The combined talents of the two companies provide superior mobile media services through the familiar and trusted Virgin brand name. About Virgin Mobile Virgin Mobile is the UK's first virtual mobile operator - the fifth UK network. Launched in November 1999, the company has attracted customers at a far faster rate than any of its competitors achieved in their early days, and has already established itself as an industry innovator.
All customers are on one great value tariff - the more it is used each day the cheaper it becomes.
Each customer has access to powerful applications because of a 32k SIM - a UK first. Virgin Mobile aims to be the most popular mobile brand in the UK and eventually throughout the world. The company's vision is to enable mobile Internet access in the business to business markets. In the business to business market, the company provides its server technology, wireless industry expertise and consulting services to other technology companies to further advance the mobile medium. Geoworks serves the consumer market through Mobile Attitude, the company's branded mobile media and commerce service, delivered to the growing universe of digital mobile phones and pagers.
