Our Story
Former Telenor executive Martina Klingvall founded the Swedish MVNO Telness, with an ambition to raise the standards within the telecom industry.
We built a fully digital mobile operator in Sweden 2016. It led to us becoming the highest rated mobile operator in Europe and our segment, a title we still hold.
We have a 4.9 Trustpilot rating. Our clients love us, because they don’t have to deal with us. It’s all automated. As such OPEX is minimal, customer experience is maximized.
You’d be surprised to hear that no other operators outside of Sweden have done this. That’s why we’re selling the technical platform to other operators.
If digital self-service was non-complex, quick to implement and easy to build – all telecom players would already have developed this.
But they don’t need to - as of 2022 they can buy it from us, and that’s Telness Tech.

Powerful, fully automated and infinitely scalable. Playfully easy. As Telecom should be.
Since the operator Telness was founded in 2016 the company’s tech stack has been built with the ambition to ultimately white label its services and sell them on a SaaS model.
We iterated our technology over 7 years and managed to build a successful end-to-end digital experience, modularised, cloud-based and contained as one. We custom built the perfect Telecom BSS/OSS automating everything that needed dozens of vendors. This enabled the highest customer rating in Europe (4.8/5 on Trustpilot). A record we still hold.
It took us 7 years to crack the code but we did it.
We carved out the tech, made it even better - and that is Telness Tech.
Since launching we have acquired several customers across Europe and the US and Africa.
The company is headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden with employees working all over Europe and the US.

How do you launch 11 Brands in less than 2 months?
Telness Tech is currently in the process of launching 11 MVNO brands, all in less than six weeks. The client is an MVNE (Mobile Virtual Network Enabler) with ambitions to launch a “digital telco in a box solution” where they quickly and reliably can serve and enable MVNOs with different value propositions and target customer segments. This flexibility requires a technical platform with low complexity, high scalability and level of automation, and that allows for smooth migration of existing users. Telness Tech was the only company that could do this at the desired speed, quality and cost. This includes but is not limited to fully white-label interfaces, modular product management, customer onboarding, automated provisioning and fulfilment – all with fully digital customer journeys and zero touch. In this interview our CPO, Filip Askviken explains how we did it.
