Rabona is a virtual phone operator that relies on the TIM network. The name of the offers is related to soccer, but there is no link with the Serie A
With the liberalization of the market, the number of phone operators has increased significantly. In addition to Tim, Vodafone and Wind-Tre (which will soon be joined by Iliad, the fourth Italian operator that acquired the frequencies left free by the merger of Wind-Tre), there are many virtual operators that rely on the network of the larger companies. Among the full MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) operators there is also Rabona Mobile, the first operator dedicated to the “world of soccer”.
Although it is not linked to any team in particular, Rabona Mobile tries to exploit its name to make offers with a football background. The Rabona, in fact, is the name of a movement with which the ball is kicked by moving the foot behind that of support. A very complicated play that is hardly ever proposed within a game. Like all virtual operators, Rabona Mobile relies on the network of another operator to work: in this case that of TIM that allows you to have good coverage nationwide (but you can not use the 4G network).
What is Rabona Mobile
Rabona Mobile is a virtual phone operator that presents all inclusive offers for your smartphone. Leaning on the TIM network, the coverage is quite good but for the moment there is no support for 4G network. Rabona Mobile defines itself as “the 100% Italian mobile phone company dedicated to the world of soccer”. The relationship between Rabona (the company) and soccer is not only related to the world of telephony. In fact, the company that created Rabona Mobile operates in the soccer sector at 360 degrees: it manages the power of attorney of some young footballers and has plans to make a football-themed reality show. The company would also like Rabona to become a clothing brand.
How to activate Rabona Mobile SIM
You can activate a Rabona Mobile SIM directly on the phone operator’s website. For users who require it, it is possible to carry out the portability of their phone number. It is also possible to activate the SIM in Rabona Mobile sales points.
Rabona Mobile offers
Rabona Mobile only offers all-inclusive prepaid promotions. The name of the offers is always with a football background: for example, in view of the World Cup in Russia 2018 was launched World Social that offers at a bargain price, minutes, SMS and Giga for Internet connection. The Rabona Mobile offers also include the services Lo Sai and Chi ha ti cercato.
How to top up Rabona Mobile
To top up your remaining credit with Rabona Mobile you have several options. The easiest is directly from the phone company’s website through a credit card or PayPal, or through the mobile app available for Google Play Store and App Store. Alternatively, it is possible to top up at participating centers or at Rabona sales points.
The Rabona Mobile app
For Rabona Mobile users there is also an application to install on their smartphone. Within the app you will be able to view your remaining credit and the remaining thresholds of your offer (minutes, SMS and Giga). But the application also offers other services. There are the results and rankings of the main European soccer leagues and live results of the matches. Soccer fans will also be able to interact with the Rabona Mobile community via the social network within the app.
The other virtual operators available in Italy
With phone offers constantly changing, users are always looking for the operator that charges them less. Rabona Mobile is not the only MVNO present in Italy that has reduced price offers, but the list of virtual operators is very long and includes important names as well. There is Fastweb Mobile which relies on the TIM network, while PosteMobile uses the Wind Tre network. Another very interesting virtual operator is Kena Mobile, created directly by TIM and which presents low-cost offers. Even Tiscali has created its own virtual operator (Tiscali Mobile) and relies on the Tim network.
