GSM Association - Membership FAQ's
How long does the application process take?
The GSMA deals with all applications for membership as expeditiously as possible. Once we have the information we require and legal documentation signed, we move from step to step very quickly. An application can take as little as one week but as long as a couple of months depending on the availability of the information we require. The onus is on the applicant to provide us with the relevant information.
I wish to apply as an Individual, is this possible?
Unfortunately we do not currently have a membership category for individuals. Our membership consists of Full Members (licenced GSM mobile operators) and Associate Members (GSM suppliers & manufacturers). There are 13 categories in the Associate Membership programme. An individual can check to see if the company they work for is eligible for membership
How much will it cost?
The Associate Membership fee structure can be downloaded in our information pack at the Associate Membership Information section of this site.
Each Full Member is allocated a number of votes, which enable the member to participate fully in the decision making process of the Association. The number of votes allocated to a company is calculated using statistics including GNP, population of the licensed service area (LSA) and number of Public Land Mobile Networks in the LSA. The cost of membership therefore depends on how many votes a company is allocated.
