Cellular Services, Prepaid and Post PaidIndia is one of the fastest growing markets for wireless technology. The countrys mobile operators are currently providing services based on predominantly on GSM. Whilst india has been moving into advance forms of mobile technology. including GPRS and EDGE, The country has stopped short of extensive adoption of 3G, although trail services are being set up. Prepaid services have been an important driver of growth subscriber number and represent around 75% of the total mobile subscriber base. The first mobile service were introduced in 1996, but did not take off until 1988. Mobile data services are expected to grow strongly on the back of rising mobile subscription. In the India mobile market, GSM continues to be the technology plateform of choice since the first networks began to be rolled out in 1995. A significant event occurred, however, when the government allowed use of rival technology, Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), for the application of wireless Local Loop (WLL) services by fixed-line operators. This was initially done to enable the faster rollout by cable. The government allowed fixed0-line companies to offer what was referred to as limited mobile service to customers using CDMA in 2001 , hoping that this would attract private investors into the sector. The move was part of an effort to achieve the strategic target for boosting phone connection in the country to 100 million by 2005, in a significant move in the context of the governments open market policy, US-based Qualcomm announced plans invest up to US$ 200 million in Indias BSNL communications, a fixed-line start-up of the powerful BSNL group, which has been plan to deploy the CDMA mobile technology on a larger scale. BSNL has been granted licenses for fixed-line service in 16 India States, covering 90% of India population. SMS has been the most successful value added service indias mobile sector. Research Company Gartner announced in February 2004 that outbound SMS volumes in India increased by 200. 8% per year-on- year to reach 7. 39 billion messages in 2003. That was equivalent to 35. 8 outbound SMS messages per celluar connection per month. SMS based usage such as text based information/enterainment services on-demand, games and promotions/marketing activities are expected to grow. While MMS has been touted in other Asia Pacific markets, MMS provides longer text messages, in addition of music and picture, and allows the sending of message to multiple recipients. BPL mobile, which one has been operating mobile services in Mumbai. Maharasthra. Goa, Kerla, Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry, with a network spanning 209 cities launched indias first MMS in October 2002, making India the Fourth country in the Asia Pacific region to commercially launch the service. The introduction of MMS followed in the from the wide acceptance and usage of SMS. The association of United Telecom service Provider of India (AUSPI)

And the executive should talk to the caller in the language he/she has reached I, e English or Hindi as told by the computer when the number is dialed. All the talks at customer care should be recorded and heard by company officials at the end of the day and corrections. Update information & instruction for improvement be given and recorded some where to know the efficiency of the person. Sim checking facility should be made available at each Franchisee. Detailed Bill should always be given free of cost to subscriber. BIBLIOGRAPHY
