Availability for tracking customers whereabouts
[
edit

An article form
Dagens Næringsliv
on September 16, 2013, stated that a security weakness at Telia resulted in the availability of "?with simple resources, to track [the whereabouts of] members of parliament and other Telia customers abroad, when they were on a job [trip] or on a holiday"?until the weakness was rectified (
tette hullet
) on September 12, 2013.

Name change to Telia
[
edit
]
On 1 March 2016 NetCom changed its name to Telia, most likely to avoid confusing their customers as they have been sharing TeliaSonera's logo for multiple years prior to the name change. They launched their "ROAM LIKE HOME" offer right after, allowing customers to use their existing mobile subscriptions in all
Nordic
and
Baltic
countries (With the exception of
Iceland
,
Greenland
and the
Faroe Islands
).
[4]
They were the first mobile operator in Norway to provide a service of this nature. Until now, competing mobile operators had simply been offering roaming packs of mobile data at slightly discounted rates.
