1GLOBAL has partnered with the companies of the Schwarz Group, one of the world's leading retail groups and owner of renowned supermarket Lidl, to bring instant, affordable mobile connectivity to millions of customers.
Together with 1GLOBAL, Lidl will establish itself as a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO), gaining independent control of its mobile services and leveraging 1GLOBAL’s technical expertise and worldwide network to expand and innovate its connectivity offering. The flexible telecommunications service furthers Lidl’s status as a provider of high-quality, affordable solutions, boosts digital customer acquisition, and strengthens engagement with existing customers.
This includes the development of embedded connectivity plans within Lidl's customer loyalty app, Lidl Plus.
Lidl Plus users will soon be able to purchase in-app eSIM plans, allowing them to access high-quality, innovative 1GLOBAL mobile services through a familiar UX and trusted provider. This integration expands the reach of 1GLOBAL's products to over 100 million Lidl Plus users.
1GLOBAL will innovate digital connectivity services for Lidl customers, as well as contribute towards the ongoing development of Schwarz Group’s cloud service STACKIT. The partnership brings the 1GLOBAL tech stack and eSIM expertise to millions of Lidl customers worldwide.
Lidl is the partner that shares our vision: We want to make mobile communications as intuitive, flexible, and digital as possible for millions of people. Our technology focuses on digital offerings tailored to the needs of users and their various devices. We want to successfully drive the technological transformation of the global telecommunications market in the best interests of people.
New Lidl services
Key to the partnership is the addition of high-speed eSIM mobile services to Lidl’s customer app Lidl Plus. This continues Lidl’s reputation for affordability and reliability by offering users the option to purchase mobile data plans via the app, with no contracts or binding commitments. The inclusion of mobile data plans introduces a new daily-use service to the millions of Lidl Plus app users.
Simple to use: Mobile connectivity plans can be purchased in seconds
High-quality: The 1GLOBAL mobile network and eSIM provisioning expertise ensure instant connectivity to high-speed data networks across Europe
Flexible: Plans can be instantly purchased and managed, with no contracts
By establishing itself as an MVNO, Lidl can independently control its communications services, better tailor its offering to users, and make mobile communications easier, faster, and more affordable for all customers.
