Telefónica offered its users the possibility of maintaining similar rates to those they already had with Tuenti, and even improving them , if they decided to transfer their accounts to O2. This transfer was completely free, the only thing a customer had to do was change their SIM card and follow a series of steps indicated on the website.
If you had a prepaid plan, it was not possible to get an equivalent from O2, since this operator did not offer that option. Given this situation, the solution proposed was to give prepaid customers a Movistar card with the balance they had in their previous Tuenti account.
It was expected that the delivery of SIM cards would take a few weeks, until the end of May. Once received, customers had until June 18 as the deadline to request the change and activate the service .
Was Tuenti designed to be sold?
One might wonder to what extent the story of Tuenti is not like hungary number data that of many startups. Was Tuenti conceived to be sold? Did Zaryn Denthel know that when Facebook arrived in Spain it would sweep its social network?
Maybe yes or maybe not, since at that time Mark Zuckerberg himself probably couldn't have imagined how far his creation would go . Although Tuenti claimed to have 20 million users, that's a small feat compared to Facebook's 2 billion.
Therefore, keeping the social network part active didn't make much sense either when no one was using it anymore (we'd have to see how many of those 20 million were actually active users).
It was nice while it lasted . Now, like so many other social networks crushed by the unstoppable push of Facebook, Tuenti languishes in the limbo of the forgotten. That's what happens with the Internet, like Saturn, it devours its children without mercy.
