405 036 is TATA GSM, not IDEA

On my 12th June post, i said IDEA CELLULAR is the next GSM operator coming to Kolkata. But in a reply to TelecomTalk.info one user says IND 036 is tata gsm as seen in his mobile. other source is http://www.42it.eu/Mobile_Systems/SMS/Coverage/India/  which also says 405 036 is Tata GSM, ie Tata DoCoMo. 

SORRY for the WRONG INFORMATION :(

But strange thing is Tata Tele said their GSM service will roll in south states and then western and nothern India, they did not mention about launch in eastern zone, at the same time Indiatimes report ( http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Kolkata-/New-players-may-lower-mobile-call-rates-from-Pujas/articleshow/4537001.cms )saying idea planned to come to kolkata in puja time.

but idea network is not ready even, it's sure the testing network active over kolkata is Tata GSM ! 

!DEA Coming to Kolkata

MY INFO GIVEN HERE IS WRONG AS 405 036 is TATA GSM's NETWORK ACTIVE OVER KOLKATA. READ HERE 405 036 is TATA GSM, not IDEA.

After Airtel, Vodafone, Reliance (CDMA), BSNL, Tata Indicom (CDMA), Reliance Smart (GSM), Aircel , Virgin Mobile and last one MTS India (CDMA) came to Kolkata as mobile operators one after another.

Now question is who is the next ? is it Idea Cellular or Unitech Wireless or Tata-DoCoMo GSM service? But it's sure that next one is not going to be a CDMA player, next will be a GSM player, for last 3 weeks if you search network manually on your GSM phone, you will find a new one IND 036 or 405 036.

INA 31/ 404 31 - Airtel

INA COMMAND / 404 30 - Vodafone /HUTCH

INA 81 - CELLONE

INA 91/ 404 91 - AIRCEL

INA 83/ 404 83 - RELIANCE (SMART GSM SERVICE)

Though Tata-DoCoMo has been launched, I guess this new one is Idea. B'coz Idea planned to be launched in Kolkata during Durga Puja Eve to get more attention from Kolkatans.

Unitech has no news on when it will roll out its service and Tata DoCoMo will be in Kolkata end of '09 or start of '10.

So Idea Cellular will be city's 6th GSM ........ hope to get more attractive offers from it!!

Tata DoCoMo - what does it mean ?

NTT DoCoMo is a leading telecom operator in Japan. ( Wiki & Official )

It bought 26% stake in Tata Tele's GSM venture under dual licence policy. Well there was a discussion about the *JV's brand name. Now it has been anounced that this new GSM operator's brand name is Tata DoCoMo. (visit the home page clicking the link)

* JV= joint venture

But do you know what does 'DoCoMo' mean really? 

The name is officially an abbreviation of the phrase, "do communications over the mobile network", and is also from a phrase dokodemo, meaning "everywhere" in Japanese. {from Wiki}


Do you know how to write NTT DoCoMo in Japanese ?

株式会社エヌ・ティ・ティ・ドコモ (chances r there u can't see it properly) :) :) :p

Tata Docomo will be rolling out its services over India, Southern states get this new GSM operator 1st, then We will have it in Eastern India also. As resources saying, Kolkata can get Tata Docomo in October-December this year. Cheers, another new operator = cheaper& attractive tariffs.
