O! celebrates its 15th anniversary and gives presents to its customers!

On March 3, 2009, the O! Mobile Operator connected its first users in Bishkek, and today, O! celebrates its birthday as the Kyrgyzstan’s mobile market leader.

Surprisingly, the customers remember well those first transparent SIM cards with a sense of nostalgia. Many people in social media share their stories about giving each other SIM cards decorated with the heart-shaped logo, and beloved talking all days and all night long thanks to O!’s toll-free calls. “Happy birthday, my lovely O!shka”, millions of people can say today.

The O! network started from the idea of giving as many people as possible the opportunity to enjoy affordable and high-quality mobile services countrywide. And we did it!

#1 Mobile Service Provider!

Since its launching day, the number of the network’s cell towers increased 50 times. The O! mobile operator was the first to provide the 4G LTE coverage nationwide in 2019. Back then, thanks to the overwhelming efforts of the NUR Telecom’s technical team and investing in state-of-the-art equipment, Kyrgyzstan won a leading position among CIS countries. Since then, O! has been the #1 network in country population coverage.

O! not only maintains but also increases the pace installing cell towers. 230 new communication facilities were built and over 1,000 upgraded in 2023 which increased the network’s capacity by 30% comparing to the preceding year only. Currently, the operator’s network includes over 2,350 sites throughout the country with over 6,450 4G/3G/2G cell towers installed on them.

The fast-tracked construction of the innovative 4G network has created a basis for building a rich ecosystem of services and plans that meets customers’ needs to the maximum. All that has helped O! to become the leader in the number of customers and incomes in Kyrgyzstan. With over 3 400 000 users choosing O!, the company’s share in the Kyrgyzstan’s telecom market profits has exceeded 50%.

Those Working Well Pay Good Taxes

The growth formula is following: the more users choose the O! network, the more taxes the company pays to the national budget. This is why every O! user can be proud of making an input to development of Kyrgyzstan through phone calls.

O! (NUR Telecom LLC) has for several years been among the country’s top 10 tax payers ensuring a significant input to replenishment of the national budget income among all telecom providers and strictly following the country’s tax laws. Over the 15 years, the company has been demonstrating continuous growth of tax and other payments to the national budget. A sharp spike took place over the last years because of the company’s technical development. A growing number of users choose high quality and innovations. In 2023, O! topped up the public treasury by the record amount of 3.752 billion KGS.

O! Unites

O! has been running 97 units in the country’s seven regions ensuring stable employment of about 2,000 people. One of the team’s good tradition is the yearly campaign called “Plant a Tree” with hundreds of trees and bushes already planted by the staff. Hundreds of good deeded have been made through charitable projects supporting veterans of the Great Patriotic War, orphanages, poor families, public institutions, and medical workers during the pandemic, and many others.
