Transatel targets travelers. The company offers discounted international wireless phone services aimed at European frequent travelers. As a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO), it resells the service under its own brand but delivers it through other carriers' networks. The company's proprietary smart chip turns all international calls -- incoming and outgoing -- into domestic calls. Since its start in 2000, Transatel has expanded beyond its French roots to operations in Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and the UK. Investors in the company include a French government agency that invests in young businesses and the venture capital firm Pyramid Technology Ventures.

Turkcell talks a lot of turkey. The dominant mobile phone operator in Turkey has more than 35 million subscribers, almost half the country's population.

Turkcell has operations in six other countries across the Black Sea through equity stakes in subsidiaries. Founding investors include conglomerate Çukurova Group, Russian conglomerate Alfa Group, and Finnish telecom company TeliaSonera. A holding company controlled by Alfa and Çukurova owns 51% of Turkcell. TeliaSonera controls another 13%.
