Vodafone India, Bharti Airtel and MTNL Mumbai Offering Nano SIM Card Ahead of iPhone 5 Launch

In an endeavor to provide dedicated Mobile telecommunication service over up-coming high end device iPhone 5, India’s leading mobile service operator Vodafone, Bharti Airtel and MTNL Mumbai are ready to offer Nano SIM Card.

In exclusive talks with TelecomTalk, Vodafone India said that Nano sim is available across all Vodafone circles for SIMEX (SIM exchange). In other words, get your old sim and you can replace with new sim (nano SIM). There is no premium cost and Vodafone Nano SIM is available at the same cost as the normal SIM.

Our exclusive sources at India’s largest mobile service provider Bharti Airtel also confirms that Nano SIM cards are ready and will be available commercially anytime soon across all circles.

While India’s first 3G Mobile service provider Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd (MTNL) also confirms that Nano SIM Cards for its customers are ready and will be available in next 3 to 4 days across all Customer Service Centers across Mumbai for SIMEX (SIM for exchange) basis.

Nano SIM Card which is currently being used exclusively in the Apple iPhone 5 measuring 12.3 x 8.8 mm, the Nano-SIM is about 30 percent smaller than the Micro-SIM. Even the thickness (0.7 mm) of the card has been reduced by about 15 percent – a tremendous technical challenge.

The Nano-SIM offers device manufacturers the crucial advantage of freeing up extra space for other mobile phone Nano-SIM The smallest SIM form factor on the market components such as additional memory or larger batteries. Popular smart phones in particular have to strike a balance between the need for components that are more powerful but bulkier and a slim design.

Ahaa….This reminds an interesting anecdote – An acrobat started squeezing his whole body thru a steel circular frame with a larger diameter and gradually started using diameter-reduced, one one-by-one. An astonished spectator became over joyous and said – “Now he will squeeze without a frame…!!!! Just in lighter vein.

nice story bro but too hard language u use.. i had to use google translate 2-3times

Ah..U did it, And appreciate ! Amit….! All of us learn from experience and surely thru efforts, and such knowledge gained will be part of the life ! Instead of going to google translate, download a good utility called “wordweb pro” (free)- Dictionary +Thesaurus+word finder- from wordweb.info and install- definitely it is worth !

So, You are lucky “Sayan”, because Uninor deduced 92 Rs. balance from my account from my switched off number. C.C was not willing to refund, be 48 hrs. was over. then after lot of balance wasting buy voice call Nodal refunded it. Again after few days , rs. 88 deduced from the number, even the number was switched off for long time.
No one refunded it. It was lost.
Also, recently they have deduced 62 Rs. from another active number.
C.C directly telling they will not refund.
* All numbers are in Full DND.

really boss uninor now a days deducting wrong balance! A week ago i rechrgd with 20rs got full tt. Then activated rs14 gprs pack through ussd n remaing 6rs were in my balance. I got a msg rs5 deducted fr activating “my music” pack. I called cc and told give my money back. Replied me you actvtd music pack. I told i have laptop , mobile, woofer for listening music, why should i do this? Give money back plz. He directly told me u r not eligible to get the money back.. Then i abused (kacha khisti) him of 5rs and cut the call. Was feeling relaxed

hmmm.
But what docomo did yesterday with me was simply outstanding! They deducted 2000mb from my gprs balance! I think nobody never ever listen to something like that.
And also think that the Docomo officials have some mental disorder. They should visit any asylum as soon as possible

thats too ridiculas bro!! NÖw a days every operator try to suck!! I mainly use vodafone for calling (rs53 card 1p/2s 60days all local) and rarely get wrong deduction. I got 2times money back from them as i have a good relation with their facebook page. I stoped using their gprs when they reduced rs4 pack 10mb from 40mb. Kolkata sim still get 40mb.

They are just cutting the extra-plastic on SIM card and shortening slots on mobile phones.

Btw I’ve been facing a lot of issues with my Tata Docomo SIM card since I bought it 3 years ago and not only me, many people (according to their posts on various blogs) across the country facing the same issue with their Tata Docomo-GSM, Virgin and T24 SIMs. I first thought it was only me until I read about other facing the same issue. The issue is when we insert our TD-GSM, we can’t make call or send sms as while calling it says Connection Error and SMSes gets failed though you can use data services. But no calls can be made and those who are calling gets Out of Coverage tone. To get rid of this problem I have to insert my SIM in Nokia 1100 phone and after that it works fine until unless phone gets switched-off. Many a times phone automatically re-starts and I have to repeat the process i.e inserting it in Nokia 1100 and then inserting back to my phone. Even in dongles, while using Internet, it automatically disconnects and Mobile Partner software re-starts. Sometimes PC gets re-start and all this happen only while using TD SIM as I don’t face any issue with other 7 operator’s SIM cards. My friend using Virgin GSM also faces the same problem of phone re-starting. Another friend who got T24 SIM card from Big Bazaar also facing the same issue. As Virgin and T24 using the same Tata’s GSM network, it suggests that Tata network has got some issues which hasn’t been rectified since its launch or there maybe problems with the SIM cards programming.

As usual the CC told me to buy a new SIM card by paying Rs.49 as they don’t want to correct the problem their network has.

sayan how is the speed of tata docmo in your area, in durgapur tata 2g download speed is max 7 KB/SEC( using aircel network )….

i am from jangipur,murshidabad and here in my town tata docomo gives 15-30kB/sec speed.
Few days ago this operator deducted rs.60 from my account as a name of call me tune while my phone was switched off,though they refunded it within 4days.
For me, uninor is the best. I am using it from the first day when it was launched in wb no wrong balance deduction,transparent plans and crystal clear voice quality.

Dear TT frnds, Be aware of Tata Docomo’s hidden terms and conditions. It can do anything with your balance and I am a big victim of it. Today I’ve checked their website (wb circle) and found a pack of Rs.38 which will offer loc calls @ 1p/2sec and 20 sms free daily after first sms @ base rate. I also had confirmed this offer by dialing 52222 and with their online chat support. At around 6pm everything was ok and at that time my gprs balance was 2050mb+. After 1 hour I have recharged my account with STV 38. After that I have found that my gprs balance was showing 50mb! I was really shocked! After that I have called 198 and the representative told me a ridiculous thing,that the STV Comes with 50mb data usage along with others! He also told me that I shall not get my previous data usage back!
Now dear friends what will you say about this cheat company?

mohnish October 17, 2012 at 11:14 pm

SAME WITH ME.IF U REFUSE TO TAKE THEIR CALL ONCE THEY LEAVE NO EFFERT TO MAKE UR DAY HELL.BUT SINCE I ACTIVATED DND TD CAN’T CALL ME AND STOLE MONEY.
