{{Main|Magenta Telekom}}
Until 2000, Magenta Telekom (known then as T-Mobile(austria)) was a shareholder of the former max.mobil. network. In April 2001, it acquired one hundred percent and subsequently introduced the T-Mobile brand in Austria by rebranding max.mobil. in April 2002 as T-Mobile Austria. It later rebranded again to Magenta Telekom on 6 May 2019, after acquiring the Austrian operations of [[UPC Broadband|UPC]] from [[Liberty Global]] in December 2017.

In 2005, it acquired former competitor tele.ring from ''Western Wireless International''. It is now used as a discount brand. tele.ring is an Austrian mobile network operator. Since it was bought by Magenta Telekom (then T-Mobile) in 2006, it is no longer a legally independent company. Tele.ring is administratively independent and now acts primarily as a discount-offer, similar to Yesss and [[BoB (Austrian telecommunications company)|BoB]] of [[mobilkom austria|A1]]. In the past, tele.ring was known for their aggressive price-politics.
