Personal was launched in 1995 as the mobile phone brand for parent company Telecom, and provided mobile services in the northern part of the country (where its parent company also provided [[fixed telephony]] services). In the metropolitan area of Buenos Aires, instead, Telecom provided mobile phone services since 1993 under the brand Miniphone, in a joint venture together with Telefónica. However, in 1999, legal provisions determine the division of Miniphone, as well as of all those companies whose shareholders were Telecom and Telefónica. It is from there that Telecom Personal also begins to provide service in [[Greater Buenos Aires]] independently (keeping part of the clients of the divided Miniphone).<ref>{{cite news |title=Desaparece Miniphone y las telefónicas se reparten abonados por medio de una división salomónica |url=http://www.lanacion.com.ar/149637-desaparece-miniphone-y-las-telefonicas-se-reparten-abonados-por-medio-de-una-division-salomonica |access-date=8 October 2021 |work=La Nación |date=15 August 1999 |language=es-AR}}</ref> |

History
Personal was launched in 1995 as the mobile phone brand for parent company Telecom, and provided mobile services in the northern part of the country (where its parent company also provided fixed telephony services). In the metropolitan area of Buenos Aires, instead, Telecom provided mobile phone services since 1993 under the brand Miniphone, in a joint venture together with Telefónica. However, in 1999, legal provisions determine the division of Miniphone, as well as of all those companies whose shareholders were Telecom and Telefónica. It is from there that Telecom Personal also begins to provide service in Greater Buenos Aires independently (keeping part of the clients of the divided Miniphone).[3]
