The Bridge Alliance (originally the Bridge Mobile Alliance) is a business alliance of 34 major mobile telecommunications companies in Asia, Australia, Africa and the Middle East. The alliance is built on seamless service connectivity and a suite of integrated value-added services for all alliance members' subscribers while roaming on each other's networks. The concept is similar to that of the FreeMove alliance in Europe, with whom the Bridge Alliance has a partnership.
Established on 3 November 2004, the alliance originally comprised Singapore Telecommunications (SingTel) and four companies, namely Bharti Airtel, Globe Telecom, Optus and Telkomsel, as well as Maxis Communications and Taiwan Mobile, enabling it to gain a foothold in the mobile markets of Singapore, India, the Philippines, Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia and Taiwan.
The alliance expanded between 2005 and 2015 to also include Hong Kong CSL in Hong Kong, CTM in Macau, SK Telecom in South Korea, Advanced Info Service (AIS) in Thailand, MobiFone in Vietnam, Telkomcel in Timor-Leste, Airtel in Sri Lanka, the African operators of Bharti Airtel in Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Republic of the Congo, Gabon, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Madagascar, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Seychelles, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia, SoftBank Mobile in Japan, Saudi Telecom Company in Saudi Arabia, VIVA in Bahrain, VIVA in Kuwait and Avea in Turkey.
