Whatever happened to Marks & Spencer Mobile?

Do you remember M&S Mobile?

I was in Marks & Spencer, the famous British retailer, the other day. I had purchased my socks and as I was about to exit the store, I saw a sign advertising their electronics department.

‘Ah hah! I’ll pop up and see what’s going on with M&S Mobile,’ I thought.

Answer? Nothing. Nada. The store clerk explained to me that they ‘no longer did that’.

I don’t recall reading any announcements about the M&S Mobile switch-off. It must have been retired silently or with little press. It was never really going to get anywhere as I remember commenting back in August last year.

Here’s proof, for posterity, that M&S did — once — have an MVNO:
