In 2006 it became Nòverca (a name that derives from the portmanteau of NOVità, 'news' and ricERCA, 'research', and whose logo is a stylization of the name with the "o" representing a little man making a phone call[6]), launching instant messaging and VoIP software that exploited the SIP protocol .In the period prior to the conversion to Full MVNO, the prefixes issued belonged to the seventh decade of 370 (i.e. 370–7) as they derive from those of which TIM (support operator) is assigned for its ESP MVNOs.All customers were given the opportunity to go at TIM sales points between 4 February 2015 and 2 May 2015, to port the number at favorable conditions to a new TIM SIM and continue to use mobile radio services at virtually unchanged economic conditions even after the definitive cessation of services on the SIM Nòverca, without prejudice to the customer's right to carry out portability to any other operator under current conditions, or to withdraw completely and without charge from the contract for the supply of mobile radio services.[23] At the moment the service is only available in some regions of Italy and offers the possibility of connecting via Wi-Fi and surfing without limits and without a fixed-line, using LTE.[24] The service takes care of providing FWA Internet access through the use of specific frequencies for WiMAX included in the spectrum between 3.4 and 3.6 GHz, but given the lack of these frequencies by Nòverca, the company had to turn to a third party for its network service, whose choice fell on Linkem.
