The story
Azerfon LLC launched its commercial activities on 21 March 2007 under brand name Nar Mobile.
Today, the network coverage of Azerfon claims to reach the territory of the Azerbaijan Republic. In certain remote areas (e.g. Qarxun and Sohub villages of Quba district) Nar is the only provider offering service. Currently, over 2,100,000 subscribers use the network. In 2009 a non-stock partnership agreement was signed between Azerfon LLC and Vodafone Company. In December 2009 Azerfon released its 3G (UMTS) network, the first GSM operator in Azerbaijan to do so.
