Vodafone Czech Republic a.s. is a Czech telecommunications company, owned by Vodafone Group. It is among the largest Czech companies by revenue.

It was established as Český Mobil in 1999, when the government of Miloš Zeman granted it a free license to operate the third mobile GSM network. The company was renamed in September 2004 to Oskar Mobil.[1] In 2005 the international company Vodafone became the sole shareholder,[2] which in November 2005, approved the most recent change in the company name.

Czech Vodafone currently has over 3 million customers.[3] The director is Petr Dvořák since February 2018.
