MTS India the telecom joint venture company between of Sistema of Russia and Shyam Group(India) has signed an agreement with Tata Teleservices Ltd (TTSL) to share the Tata’s CDMA network for roaming services.This will be the first time that the two private CDMA service providers in India would allow roaming of their customers on each others network.
The state-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) and Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) are the only two telecom operators who allow each others CDMA subscribers to stay connected on either network as they are both owned by the Government of India.
T Narasimhan, deputy chief executive officer Sistema Shyam Teleservices Ltd quoted we have reached an agreement with Tata Teleservices to allow our customers to roam on their network when outside of their home networks as we do not have a pan India coverage yet we have had no issues reaching a commercial agreement with Tata Tele and our customers benefit from seamless coverage.

CDMA roaming … how it will be done ,like in GSM we can search manually for network and can switch to it , can any1 explain
Sanjay Bafna June 2, 2009 at 2:29 pm
@Biswas,The CDMA Roaming technically much more complex, and requires the roamer’s phone to first register in the system in which it wishes to roaming facility. This is done automatically, and causes an CDMA exchange of information over the SS7/ANSI-41 network to the home system.
