India's fourth largest teleco Idea Cellular today resumed 3G services through intra-circle roaming (ICR) across 10 circles.
It will enable over 25 per cent of its base of 13.7 crore subscribers to experience high speed 3G Internet services on their mobile devices. Another private telecom operator, Airtel, had resumed 3G services last Sunday following the companies winning their case against the government ban on intra-circle roaming at the telecom tribunal last week.
Both, prepaid and postpaid Idea customers in Delhi, Mumbai, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Kolkata, Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Bihar, Assam and the Northeast can now avail of 3G services.
"Idea has partnered with leading telecom operators in the country to enable seamless 3G connectivity," company's Chief Marketing Officer Sashi Shankar said in a statement.
Already the largest players Airtel and Vodafone have restarted offering 3G roaming services in circles where they don't have 3G network through intra-circle roaming arrangements from past weekend.
