Vivatel announced it had 1 million clients and held 10 per cent of the mobile telephone services' market in Bulgaria.

The announcement was made by Vivatel senior manager Anna Pencheva on November 27.

She did not say what percentage of the clients used pre-paid services, but said that the proportion between prepaid service and subscriptions was approximately equal for all mobile operators, Bulgarian News Agency BTA reported.

Pencheva explained there was a tendency towards increasing the share of clients on subscriptions because of special offers from operators.

From November 28 2007 until January 15 2008 Vivatel would give its new clients who would choose a Vivatel Together subscription plan an original DVD with the film “300” as a present, Pencheva said as reported by BTA.
