GoMo

GOMO or GoMo is the name of two unrelated, online-only mobile telephone flanker brands. GOMO in Singapore, Australia, Thailand and the Philippines are owned by Singtel of Singapore, GoMo Ireland and Switzerland are owned by Iliad SA of France.

GOMO Singapore was the first to launch on 25 March 2019, using the Singtel mobile network.[1] GOMO Thailand is operated by AIS, a partly-owned subsidiary of Singtel. GOMO Philippines is operated by Globe Telecom, also a partly-owned subsidiary of Singtel. GoMo Ireland was launched on 15 October 2019, using the Eir mobile network.[2][3][4][5][6] and has over 250,000 mobile customers, as of October 2020.[7][8][9] GoMo Switzerland was subsequently launched on 16 November 2021, using the Salt mobile network.[10]

GOMO Australia (stylized as gomo) was operated on the Optus network, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Singtel. On 1 June 2023, they stopped offering GOMO products to new customers and it was later announced that GOMO Australia will be closing all of its services on 15 December 2023.
