PLUS ALBANIA Communication SH.A. (also known as PLUS) is a defunct Albanian-owned and operated telecommunications company.[2] It was the 4th mobile operator in Albania by number of subscribers.

Opening

PLUS Communication was founded in June 2009, after AKEP gave the Individual Authorization (license) as the bidder with the highest value, to provide mobile telephony services. The company started its commercial operations on December 6, 2010. [3] When PLUS ceased operations in 2018, its reserved frequencies were split between Vodafone and One.

Market share

In 2012, PLUS had 5.3 million subscribers (187% penetration rate), out of which there were 3.2 million active users (114% penetration rate). An active user is defined as having communication in the last three months.[4]

The regulatory authority for telecommunication in Albania is the Electronic and Postal Communications Authority.
