It was established as a joint venture between Cable & Wireless (49%), Bulgarian Telecommunications Company (39%) and Radioelectronic Systems.[1]

Mobikom originally used the network code 0799, which was later changed to 048, with the customer number increasing from five digits to six.[2]

Mobikom also ran a public payphone service, which was for a time called Mobika (identical logo, except for the spelling).[3][4]
