Saunalahti (previously Jippii) is a Finnish mobile phone operator and an internet service provider. The company was founded in 1998 when three middle-sized internet operators merged. The company is now owned by Elisa.

In addition to DSL and mobile phone service, Saunalahti also offers Finnish users Voice over IP without a monthly fee. The service includes free calls to Saunalahti mobile numbers.[1]

Saunalahti doesn't operate its own cellular network and thus relies on Elisa network. Saunalahti offers various mobile plans, most of which are cheaper than the ones offered by the parent company Elisa.[2][3]
