History

PCCW Mobile HK, previously known as "Mandarin Communications" [2] (registered Chinese name 匯亞通訊有限公司; [2] trading as SUNDAY [3] ), was a Hong Kong company that was incorporated in 1994. Mandarin Communications launched its 2G GSM 1800 network in 1997. [4] [ non-primary source needed ]

Mandarin Communications was a subsidiary of listed company Sunday Communications since 2000. In 2004, the company signed a contract with Huawei, which the Chinese telecommunications company would supply and installation of a 3G network to SUNDAY, [5] as well as purchasing the shares of its parent company Sunday Communications. [6] The group acquired the 3G license of Hong Kong via Sunday 3G (Hong Kong) Limited (stylized as SUNDAY 3G), [7] [8] a wholly owned subsidiary of Mandarin Communications. [1]

However, the parent company, Sunday Communications, was acquired by PCCW in 2005, [9] and the subsidiary, Mandarin Communications, was renamed to "PCCW Mobile HK Limited" in 2007, [2] after Sunday Communications selling Mandarin Communications and other businesses to its parent company in 2006. [10] [ non-primary source needed ] PCCW made this acquisition to return to mobile business after it sold Hong Kong CSL Limited to Australia's Telstra in 2001–02. [11] [12]

Nevertheless, after PCCW, via its subsidiary HKT, re-acquired CSL (known as a different legal person, CSL Limited, at that time) and its parent company CSL New World Mobility from Telstra and New World Development in December 2013, [13] [14] [15] [16] PCCW ceased to use the brand PCCW in its mobile network operator services, which the legal person of PCCW Mobile HK was renamed to CSL Mobile Limited instead, in 2014.
