The UK's four mobile operators have posted healthy customer gains for the third quarter this year. The gains show continued growth in the mobile market and in particular the pre-paid mobile phone market.

However, the battle for market share heats up with One2One taking on more customers than Orange for the first time - One2One's customer base rose by 604,000 to 3,254,000 while Orange saw a rise of 520,000. BT Cellnet also gained market share - with 923,000 new subscribers by comparison to Vodafone's 701,000 additions in the third quarter.

Of Vodafone's new customer base, 98 per cent signed up to its pay-as-you-talk service, whereas over 50 per cent of new customers to Orange's network opted for a subscription tariff.
