About Us

Lavanta Mobil is a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) founded in Istanbul in 2017 by three telecom engineers asking: why is getting a mobile line so complicated? We have no base stations of our own; we wholesale-lease Turkey's national network infrastructure and deliver the service under our own brand, tariffs, billing and customer experience. This model lets us keep prices low and flexible without carrying the infrastructure investment.

Why a virtual operator?

Virtual operators bring the same signal as the big operators to users with simpler, more flexible tariffs. Coverage and speed are the same as the partner main network; we differentiate on price, plan variety and customer service.

Our principles

• Transparent pricing: no activation, SIM or hidden fees.
• Digital convenience: registration, number porting, plan changes and billing are all done in the app.
• Flexibility: no contract on prepaid plans; an uncommitted option on postpaid plans.
• Trust: biometric ID verification, SIM-swap protection and spending limit alerts.
