EE has a heritage of innovation and was born from two major mobile brands, Orange and T-Mobile, which joined forces in 2010. EE’s family tree dates back to 1993, when Mercury Communications launched the Mercury One2One GSM mobile network (which by 2002 had evolved into T-Mobile UK). The other branch can be traced back earlier still, to the 1990 formation of Microtel Communications (which became Orange four years later).
