Mauritius Telecom Ltd (Mauritius Telecom or MT) is a provider of ICT services for both residential customers and businesses in Mauritius, including fixed, mobile, internet, TV, mobile money and ICT services.

The Company was incorporated in 1988 as Mauritius Telecommunication Services and in 1992, after merging with Overseas Telecommunications Services (previously Cable & Wireless), it was renamed Mauritius Telecom. In 2000, Mauritius Telecom entered into a strategic partnership with France Telecom (now Orange S.A.), which acquired 40% of its shares in the context of the impending liberalisation of the country’s telecommunications sector.

By the end of 2017, the Company had completed island-wide fibre deployment.

In recent years, several services and products have been introduced: my.t money was launched in 2019, followed by prepay and postpay data packages, the payment of all utility bills (CEB, CWA and MT bills) via a single digital platform, the my.t billpay app.
