The story

Founded by Tele2 on Apr 1999, in Segrate.1

In April 1999 Tele2 founded its Italian branch, Tele2 Italia.

On 6 October 2007, as also happened in Spain, it was acquired by Vodafone. This operation is completed in December. The company thus changed its name to Opitel, temporarily maintaining the Tele2 brand.

No longer being linked to Tele2, from 1 January 2010 the operator's brand name was changed, which thus became TeleTu. On January 4, the company name was also changed to TeleTu.

On 1 October 2012 TeleTu, following the merger by incorporation with Vodafone, began selling its products under the Vodafone brand. From 1 April 2015 the TeleTu brand was officially abandoned in favor of that of the parent company and all those who were its customers automatically switched to Vodafone.
