'''GSM Network Identifiers :''' GIBTEL

Gibraltar Telecommunications International Limited (Gibtel) (now '''Gibtelecom''') introduced mobile phones in Gibraltar using a GSM900 network. The new [[General Packet Radio Service|GPRS]] network installed by the Scandinavian company allows faster and permanent connectivity for all mobile users, as well as providing high-speed [[Multimedia Messaging Service|picture and video messaging]] for owners of the new range of multi-purpose hand-sets.<ref name="anknmn">{{Cite web |url=http://www.gibtele.com/gibwireless/home.qxp |title=Gibwireless |access-date=25 June 2006 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060719015254/http://www.gibtele.com/gibwireless/home.qxp |archive-date=19 July 2006 |url-status=dead  }}</ref>

Gibtelecom operates 3G & 4G networks.

CTS ceased providing 3G services in early 2013.

A new provider, Shine Mobile, launched on 23 September 2013. On 12 May 2016 the Company posted a notice on its website [www.shinemobile.gi] saying that "As from 18/05/2016, our services are going to be SUSPENDED; therefore your Shine line will NOT be operational." It was said that was to facilitate working on upgrading infrastructure, but as of 29 May 2016 the service is still down. Suspending service with less than a week's notice, suggests this may not have just been related to upgrading infrastructure which presumably would have been in the planning stage for more than six days. Shine Mobile will not be back.
