Virgin Mobile to launch GSM services in South India this week

The already heated telecom war has yet another player announcing entry into the GSM market. CNBC-TV18 learns that Virgin Mobile is expected to launch GSM services in South India this week, using Tata Teleservices Ltd’s (TTSL’s) network (Tata DOCOMO, to be precise).

Virgin Mobile, which currently operates in the CDMA network, also plans to launch its services in Orissa, Maharashtra and North India by March 2010.

Top officials from the company said, “GSM network is significant for growth and we will be launching it first in South India.”

It will be interesting to see if Virgin offers “Get Paid For Incoming” in GSM too.
