## History[edit]

On 23 January 2017 the company Vodafone Enabler Italia S.r.l. (in short form VEI S.r.l.)[3] was founded to operate as a low-cost operator of Vodafone Italia S.p.A.[4]

The launch of the service, branded ho. (or ho-mobile) took place on June 22, 2018 a few weeks after Iliad arrived in Italy.[5][6]

Although it received authorization from the Ministry of Economic Development to operate as a Full MVNO and only under the 379-1 prefix, the operator was launched as an ESP MVNO, adopting the 377-08 and 377-09 prefixes. Later the area codes 379-1 and 379-2 were introduced.[7]
