French MNVO Prixtel’s chairman and founder David Charles has announced that the company will be launching an ADSL service at the end of the month. With this move, it will become the first French MVNO to launch such service, although bigger rivals, such as Virgin Mobile France have announced plans.

Prixtel, which had 100,000 mobile customers in the middle of 2010 and uses the SFR network, is expected to work with the same operator for its triple-play and quad-play services. It reportedly added 12,000 of the 52,300 new MVNO customers in the third quarter of 2010. In addition to converting its mobile users to fixed-line, the operator aims to increase its overall customer base to 250,000 by the end of the year.

Pricing and other information on the ADSL service is due to be released on 30th March.
