## History

PCCW Mobile HK, previously known as "Mandarin Communications"[2] (registered Chinese name 匯亞通訊有限公司;[2] trading as SUNDAY[3]), was a Hong Kong company that was incorporated in 1994. Mandarin Communications launched its 2G [GSM 1800](/source/GSM_frequency_bands) network in 1997.[4][non-primary source needed]

Mandarin Communications was a subsidiary of the listed company [Sunday Communications](/source/Sunday_Communications) since 2000. In 2004, the company signed a contract with [Huawei](/source/Huawei), a Chinese telecommunications company, for the supply and installation of a [3G](/source/3G) network to SUNDAY,[5] as well as purchasing the shares of its parent company [Sunday Communications](/source/Sunday_Communications).[6] The group acquired the 3G license of Hong Kong via Sunday 3G (Hong Kong) Limited (stylized as SUNDAY 3G),[7][8] a wholly owned subsidiary of Mandarin Communications.[1]

However, the parent company, Sunday Communications, was [acquired](/source/Takeover) by PCCW in 2005,[9] and the subsidiary, Mandarin Communications, was renamed to "PCCW Mobile HK Limited" in 2007,[2] after Sunday Communications selling Mandarin Communications and other businesses to its parent company in 2006.[10][non-primary source needed] PCCW made this acquisition to return to mobile business after it sold [Hong Kong CSL Limited](/source/CSL_Mobile) to Australia's [Telstra](/source/Telstra) in 2001–02.[11][12]

Nevertheless, after PCCW, via its subsidiary [HKT](/source/Hong_Kong_Telecom), re-acquired [CSL](/source/CSL_Mobile) (known as a different legal person, CSL Limited, at that time) and its parent company [CSL New World Mobility](/source/CSL_New_World_Mobility) from Telstra and [New World Development](/source/New_World_Development) in December 2013,[13][14][15][16] PCCW ceased to use the brand PCCW in its [mobile network operator](/source/Mobile_network_operator) services, which the legal person of PCCW Mobile HK was renamed to [CSL Mobile Limited](/source/CSL_Mobile) instead, in 2014.[2][17][non-primary source needed]
