Looks like a good year for Meteor and it looks like their massive advertising campaign of the last few months including a huge spate of radio and TV spots has paid off as they’ve managed to increase their customer numbers by 50% jumping from around 500,000 in November 2005 to around 750,000 in November 2006.

Number porting (bringing your mobile number to a different network) has been the key to their success they reckon – particularly with contract customers (who now make up 10% of their customer base) and “high use pre-pay customers” (via RTE).
