    MYREPUBLIC has struck a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) partnership with M1, on top of the former's existing partnership with StarHub.

    In response to The Business Times' queries, MyRepublic on Thursday said it continues to work closely with the two telcos.

    Using M1's mobile network infrastructure in the new partnership, MyRepublic plans to offer an enhanced suite of mobile services, the two companies said in a joint statement on Thursday.

    The collaboration will also give M1 the opportunity to potentially expand its reach to MyRepublic's fibre broadband customer base in the market, both parties said.

    MyRepublic said it launched a suite of mobile services entirely on M1's network in September 2020, after trials that began in April this year.

    The former's For Life no-contract plans signal the start of products and services it will launch on M1's network.

    When contacted by BT, a StarHub spokesperson said: "StarHub continues to offer MyRepublic a suite of solutions and capabilities, to address the evolving needs of specific customer segments."

    MyRepublic and StarHub entered into an MVNO partnership in May 2018. M1 was bought out in April 2019 by Keppel Corp and Singapore Press Holdings (SPH), which publishes BT.
