One.Tel Abroad
Centrica acquired the UK business of One.Tel in 2001 and ran it successfully for some years. On 15 October 2005, Centrica stated that it wished to sell the UK One.Tel to concentrate on its oil and gas businesses. Ironically, a mooted purchaser was News Corporation. However, on 19 December 2005 The Carphone Warehouse announced it was buying the company to merge its customers with its TalkTalk telecommunications offering. The One.Tel UK business was retained as a separate operating company, and not merged into the main TalkTalk Group business. In late 2007 the One.Tel name was abolished and merged with TalkTalk.
However One.Tel still exists and has existing customers under http://www.onetel.co.uk/
Scarlet BV acquired the Dutch business of One.Tel in 2001, maintaining the brand.
