One BAD news, when i call to AP number. That call was consider as OFF-NET call and i was been charged according to off-net mobile call charges? Does that mean calls from TATA Indicom to TATA DoCoMo will also be considered as off net, and we can't take freedom of calling them FREELY?? PLZ confirm the same. Apart from that plz check this website http://www.tatadocomo.com/

andhra number also saying same as in kerala. but call was not reached to cc

govt has given permission to allow roaming to mtnl and bsnl cdma service.soon cdma service will have 10digit no starting with 9. so initially they wont follow cheating procedure as done by rcom. Mtnl will contiue to use same 8digit number. and not allocating any local number. rcom was given license for only WLL and rcom was following illegal way of call forwarding to avail roaming service.

why u r fearing of unknown things. try new operator network is doesnt require too much investmest

u mean that esn will change once it unlock and use on reliance network. amd what if use on tata network

this is first date u have mentionem about launch of service. we hope that this will happen on 10th june.

MTNL also start fir uage policy in 3G JADOO service, with cap of 10GB/mnth in 3g jadoo pack of rs2500 read http://www.mobigyaan.com/-mtnl-delhi-launc...th-lower-tariff

NEW DELHI: Leading GSM operators Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Essar have added 2.8 million and 2.7 million subscribers in April, continuing their respective growth momentum. The second-largest mobile operator Reliance Communications added just over 2-million subscribers last month, according to data released by telecom regulator Trai on Monday. GSM operator Aircel added about 1.1 million new subscribers in April taking its total subscriber base to 19.5 million. Tata Teleservices, a CDMA operator, added about 0.6 million new users in the given month taking its subscriber base to 35.7 million. Idea Cellular and Spice Communications together added a notch over 1-million subscribers in April. State-owned telco MTNL added 47,045 new subscribers in April. RCOM, the country’s largest telecom operator on CDMA technology platform, had launched GSM-based services in January with schemes providing free talk time up to Rs 900 and this resulted in its subscriber numbers surging between January-March. The free scheme was taken away by March-end, which resulted in subscriber additions falling in April. RCOM had outperformed the industry in these three months, it added 5-million new users in January and over 3-million new subscribers in February and March. In comparison, the largest mobile operator, Bharti, added 2.7 million new users each in January and February 2009 and 2.8 million in March. RCOM now has a mobile subscriber base of 74.8 million and Vodafone Essar's total subscriber base stands at 71.5 million, while Bharti Airtel leads with 96.7 million total subscribers. Vodafone Essar also saw a drop of about 0.07 million users in its monthly additions in April and the telco added just over 2.7-million subscribers as against 2.84 million in March. With this, Bharti Airtel regained the number one position in terms of subscriber additions by a few thousand users as it increased its customer base by 2.8-million users in April. In March 2009, Vodafone Essar had beaten Bharti Airtel in monthly subscriber additions for the first time. Trai also said that India's mobile base had crossed the 400-million mark in April, inching close to the target of 500-million users by 2010, set by the Department of Telecom (DoT). The total wireless subscriber base now stands at 403.66 million, while the total telecom base, which includes that of landline is 441.47 million, Trai added. But, the number of new mobile connections added in April saw a 23% drop compared with 15.64 million new additions in the previous month.

Economic Times 1 jun 09 NEW DELHI: The Indian telecom industry saw a dip in the number of new subscribers in April - 11.75 million telephone connections were added, compared to 15.87 million in March, an official statement said here Monday. The number of telephone connections reached 441.47 million in April from 429.72 million a month before, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) said in a statement. "We saw a huge rush from Aircel and Reliance in March due to their aggressive marketing and competitive pricing policy, which helped in getting a record number of subscribers," Mahesh Uppal, director of consultancy firm Com First India, told IANS. Explaining the reason behind the dip in April, he said: "Once the people get their connections, the rush will slow down... There is a limit to the number of phones a person can buy." Overall tele-density reached 37.94 from 36.98. The total wireless subscribers (GSM, CDMA and wireless local loop-fixed base) stood at 403.66 million with addition of 11.90 million subscribers in April, the statement said. Additions to the number of wireless subscribers also dipped after reporting a record 15.64 million new connections in March. In the wireline segment, the subscriber base decreased 0.15 million to 37.81 million in April from 37.96 million. However, the number of broadband subscribers grew from 6.22 million to 6.28 million.

Dear Sadikk.. I think u have knocked the Right door, As u r selling handset, then u must grow in ur biz, and MVNO and MNP are giving u opportunity to start ur own biz. Initally u Must visit one Analyst or Consulatant in Telecom field, He will guide u how to START Biz and RUN it. He must know about some solution which u can't imagine of it. AND I THINK MVNO is desined for such target subsciber only. First step is decide whether ur parent company will be RCOM or TATA or MTNL or MTS. Get Negotiation quote, Invest small amt in CAPEX Start convering ur existing h/s customer to MVNO company, then provide good support, Good support gives u Mouth publicity. Then go for BRAND image, brand expansion. U will need Good people working for u at each satge. About Funding, u can apporch TO VENTURE capitalist. MY WISH ARE ALWAY WITH U.

Dear Mr. Ravi, that was a good question. Spectrum scarcity is true (I'll discuss that later), but was only the part of the reason why Tata Teleservices is switching to GSM. The other reasons are: (1). lower ARPUs (Average Revenue per User) of CDMA compared to GSM. (2). lack of availability of wide range of handset models in CDMA segment. (3). CDMA is a proprietary technology of Qualcomm which demands rolalty fees for every CDMA phone manufactured anywhere in the world, while GSM is an open technology. (4). The Telecom Ministry is biased in terms of spectrum allocation and is more favorable to GSM service providers. Now coming to the point of Tata Teleservices statement of spectrum scarcity: The statement doesn't imply that Tata Teleservices currently have so much spectrum scarcity that it hurts its present day operations...... It just means that the spectrum allocation process is biased and is more in favour of GSM players and if this continues to be like this,... sometime in future when subscriber rates grow exponentially it will certainly hurt CDMA operations It is a known fact that each telecom operator is given a startup spectrum when the company is licensed to start operations. While a GSM service provider is being awarded with a startup spectrum of 4 to 5 MHz, CDMA is being given only 2.5 MHz of startup spectrum......this is very much biased, but Ministry of Telecom says CDMA is more spectrum effecient than GSM so we are allocating low spectrum to CDMA players. In several other countries like USA and Canada....there is no bias in spectrum allocation.....both GSM and CDMA players are given equal share, irrespective of the fact that CDMA is more spectrum efficient. This is what both Tata Teleservices and Reliance Communications is fighting for. And about your last question: Yes, you are right..... If the current subscriber growth rate continues.....within few years Tata Teleservices will be unable to provide Photon Plus services owing to spectrum scarcity..........for this Tata Teleservices has some options....... It can off-load the Voice subscribers from CDMA to GSM platform and dedicate most (or all) of the CDMA spectrum for Data subscribers only, still if this is not sufficient, it can demand for more spectrum. Having said this I would also like to say that other communication technologies like WiMax are far better for broadband services and does not have spectrum constraints......may be Tata Teleservices will tap into this unexploited technology in the near future. that is what i want to say. low arpu and prorietry tech is stopping tata to make big profit. so currently incuring losses. SECONDLY small range of handset and biased spectrum is stoping tata to add 2-3milion subscriber. so frm whr money will come? how they can go ahed in compition?

why roaming in intra-circle? the call orginates from the network i have searched and registered. at that time i will be a customer of that particular network and not the old one.. like an advanced MNP [change provider anytime].. Roaming is takes place same way as u thought. when u select ALIAN(other n/w) u r become part(I.e.customer) of that n/w. I prepaid ur balance is deducted by that operator, as per tariff given by ur operator to that operator. Then deducted balance is transfered to ur n/w , and then ur n/w gives some profit share of that to ALIAN n/w for service proved by them, SO most time u see in prepaid call tariff is standard, ie 1/1.5/1. local/std/incoming. In postpaid, all calls are recored and that data is sent to ur operator, which then charge u differential tariff as per plan selected by u. then share profit among them selves. u can expence this, if ur out for roaming when ur billing cycle ends.

it is more likely seen as One Mobile number from one operator, and Person can ROAM to ALL available network. And Even ROAMING will work in INTER circle and INTRA-circle too. to implement this concept, BSNL must be agree, as he has to give n/w to pvt operator. IT's simple but not that much useful. because customer doen't have time to search new network everytime. Instead N/w QUALITY is need to improve to such leevel that ur call never fails, nor u experince any HELLO HELLO problem. and about intra-circle roaming, u can chage ur operator to that operator whis provide best n/w in ur CITY/town/circle etc, this will happen after MNP.

do u know such dealer/ distibutor from nagpur??

yeh BSNL hai bhai, Jo chiye wo nahi milega and jo nahi soch tha wo milega(incoming call on poor 2G network?)

this happn around 2months back

is their any launch offer?

doesn't understand above, plz provide URL

U said it .... yes i agree, don't live in such fantacies. Raja can't match STD rate to 0.25/min. But i expect rates will go UPWARD. yes true, i said going higher. Bcoz Telecom industry also need correction as Recession hits many job market in world. How much loss can Telecos can sustained?

i too love OPERA mini, instead of stupid handset's inbuilt WAP browser. it gives feeling of rich internet surfing.

Tata Teleservices' GSM rollout on course Dow Jones Newswires Thursday 28 May 2009 Indian operator to complete nationwide GSM rollout, excluding Delhi, in next two quarters. Tata Teleservices Ltd.'s plans to launch mobile services using the global system for mobile, or GSM, technology all over India is on course, the company's chief executive said Monday. "We are on course with our GSM services rollout and we will in the next two quarters finish the roll out across India, except for areas where we don't have spectrum," Anil Sardana told reporters on the sidelines of an industry conference. The company hasn't yet got spectrum in the Delhi services area, he added. "Right now we are targeting to maintain our subscriber market share at 9%, so that would mean we garner 9% of monthly net additions," he said. On subscriber additions, the Tata group company is targeting adding 9% of the total users added by the industry every month, he said. As at the end of March, the company had just over 36 million subscribers. In October 2007, the government allowed companies such as Reliance Communications Ltd. and Tata Teleservices Ltd. to offer mobile services using GSM technology, in addition to their existing code-division multiple access, or CDMA, technology-based services.

Yesterday i had seen one more antenna attached to TATA indicom tower. This antenna is apart from CDMA antenna which was already in place. This is sure sign of launching TATA GSM in coming month.
