The company was set up as GTS Ireland on 15 November 1993. Imagine briefly operated the first Irish mobile virtual network, "Cellular 3", which bought airtime from Eircell. A legal challenge ended the arrangement and Imagine exited the mobile market. The "Cellular 3" name was derived from Imagine's de facto position as Ireland's third mobile operator at the time; Meteor Mobile Communications, the third physical operator, had yet to be licensed.

Imagine later became the first company to introduce mobile WiMAX technology to Ireland. As of 2010, the company provides services to 17,000 businesses.

Imagine has affiliations with several brands, including Motorola, HP, and Intel.
