Eircell
Eircell was an
Irish mobile cellular network provider which was established in 1984, with operations commencing in 1986. Its access code was 088 for the original analogue
TACS system and 087 for the later
GSM system. Following the abolition of the
Department of Posts and Telegraphs, Eircell fell under the remit of
Telecom Éireann (Later
Eircom), which today is known as Eir. The Eircell brand became defunct in 2002 following its acquisition by
Vodafone. From 2001, Eircell underwent a major branding exercise after its acquisition by the Vodafone group in December 2000. The main branding was to associate a shade of deep purple with the company. When Vodafone rebranded with its trademark shade of red, the company commented that "red is the new purple". The company was known as Eircell-Vodafone for some time as the process took nine months in total.
