About the operator
Tigo is the consumer-facing brand of Millicom International Cellular S.A., a telecommunications group founded on 14 December 1990 and headquartered in Luxembourg, with a US corporate office in Miami. The Tigo brand itself was introduced by Millicom in 2004 to unify the company’s mobile operations across emerging markets. Today Tigo provides mobile voice and data, fixed broadband, cable television, mobile financial services (Tigo Money) and B2B communications.
The group concentrates exclusively on Latin America. Its long-standing nine core markets are Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama and Paraguay, with Uruguay and Ecuador added in October 2025 through the acquisitions of Telefónica’s local operations. Millicom is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm and Nasdaq US under the ticker TIGO and reported around 52 million customer relationships at the end of 2025.
