Reliance Communications (RCom) has added 3.38 million new customers in February 2009 on both GSM and CDMA networks, increasing its total subscriber base to 69.38 million.
However, this is below RCom’s subscriber addition of around 5 million recorded during the previous month.
“The true barometer to gauge superiority of a product or service is customer receptiveness and response. We are glad to experience such an overwhelming response from millions of customers that has resulted in Reliance Mobile emerging as the largest selling mobile telephony brand in the country,” RCom President (Wireless Business) S P Shukla said.
At present, RCom is the second largest operator by subscriber numbers, while Bharti Airtel retains the top slot with 91.11 million users. Vodafone with 65.92 million is in the third slot, followed by state-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam (BSNL) with 44.18 million users.
RCom, which was mainly CDMA-based service provider, had launched GSM services in January 2009 across 22 circles in the country.
