CoopVoce SIM

CoopVoce is the Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) of Coop. It is the first MVNO in Italy.[2]

Operational since 1 June 2007 as ESP MVNO, after an experimental phase lasting about three months, it was born from the agreement between Coop and TIM, of which it uses the GSM/UMTS/LTE network for the provision of the service.[2]

For the numbering of its SIMs, CoopVoce uses the first decade of the decamileous 331 (that is 331-1) and the third decade of the decamileous 370 (that is 370-3).
