From the last few days there was some rumors in Media, about Virgin Mobiles entry into GSM market But now its confirm news that Virgin Mobile is ready to enter in the GSM Mobile service space of India.
Headquartered in the UK, Virgin Mobile will go ahead with its alliance with Tata Teleservices to enter in the GSM market and expected to launch of GSM Mobile services from South India with in a week, using Tata Docmo/TTSL’s GSM network which has Pan India UAS license. Presently TTSL is operating its GSM mobile service in 15 telecom circles with the brand name of Tata Docomo. Virgin Mobile plans to launch its GSM Mobile services in Orissa, Maharashtra and North India by March 2010.
Virgin Mobile (India) the Youth oriented CDMA mobile service still hasn’t been able to pull enough subscribers with its franchisee model CDMA service. It seems that the entry of Virgin into the GSM space would give the operator an edge to reach out to a larger subscriber base. Presently around 70 per cent of the total mobile subscriber base in the country is GSM and Virgin Mobile’s entry into that space will help us expand our business reach.
According to the Virgin Mobile sources the offerings of the company in GSM would be based on the franchisee model. Apart from Indian operations, Virgin Mobile is GSM operator in the UK, France, South Africa and Australia and also offer CDMA services in the US and Canada.

in india, it’s all about Tata Tele. They sell a part of their services under brand name of Virgin Mobile !
zeeshan January 19, 2010 at 2:53 pm
Virgin’s customers will be calculated under tata’s customers. So there will be no war.@Manoj Kumar
Manoj Kumar January 19, 2010 at 1:22 pm
It will be great war between Docomo nad virgin,
but better for customers.

Prasath J January 19, 2010 at 12:28 am
How can Virgin give better plans than Docomo??? Whether they will bring again the GET PAID FOR INCOMING CALLS??? Whether they will continue the 1p/sec tariff of Docomo???
JD January 19, 2010 at 12:13 am
DOCOMO itself don’t have proper network uska upar Virgin.
, what an joke sirji, Virgin using bina towaerbale DOCOMO……..it would be complete flop like CDMA.
saket January 18, 2010 at 11:03 pm

aks January 18, 2010 at 8:23 pm
The offer will b similar to its CDMA
service…..
IG January 18, 2010 at 8:08 pm
i assume that it would offer some rc that will give much more talk time with low validity….
IG January 18, 2010 at 8:06 pm
its call rates would be much higher than docomo or to be similar to docomo…..
IG January 18, 2010 at 8:05 pm
i do not expect much from Virgin gsm as its cdma does not provide so good call rates……….
Raj January 18, 2010 at 7:53 pm
WOW, it’s a great news……
Hope it will us better service at affordable price.

ANIRBAN January 18, 2010 at 7:52 pm

Agnivo January 18, 2010 at 7:52 pm

San January 18, 2010 at 7:49 pm
