About TIM

TIM is Brazil’s second largest operator and the leading company in the pre-paid segment.  The company has over 73.4 million clients and market share of 27.09%. TIM’s positive performance is driven by innovation and it has pioneered a number of important industry trends to make mobile services accessible to everyone.

TIM also focuses on network and customer service quality. In the three-year period through 2016, over 90% of the company’s forecast 11 billion BRL in investment will be spent on infrastructure. As it expands and improves its network, the company has acquired assets including Intelig (2009), AES Atimus (2011) and runs a number of special projects, such as building a fiber optic network in the North of Brazil, through LT Amazonas, providing digital inclusion for the population living in remote areas of the country.

The company also prioritizes transparency in its business and customer relationships.  One milestone was the 2012 launch of the Portas Abertas website (www.tim.com.br/portasabertas) where consumers can obtain accurate information on TIM’s coverage as well as its network expansion and improvement projects.
