About Open Mobile
Open Mobile was a mobile network operator that provided mobile phone services exclusively in Puerto Rico. It operated under the United States country listing and was established on June 12, 2007. The company was a relaunch of NewComm Wireless Services. Its new owners, M/C Partners and Columbia Capital, acquired Movistar’s assets for 160 million USD after Movistar filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in December 2006. Open Mobile’s official site is openmobilepr.com. The available description identifies it as an operator rather than an app or software service, and its service area was limited to Puerto Rico. These details place Open Mobile in the history of Puerto Rican mobile telecommunications, with its ownership transition linked to the acquisition of Movistar assets following that bankruptcy filing.
