RCOM had earlier officially announced May 31st as the last day of CDMA services in phase I circles as part of its planned 4G upgrade. Phase I circles include Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, UP East, UP West and Madhya Pradesh.
CDMA subscribers can visit RCOM website to do an online migration to 4G. This would enable subscribers to migrate to 4G even after CDMA network shutdown. Earlier subscriber has to get a 4G SIM from store and send SMS for migration.
