  • Different things you can do with a Tata DoCoMo mobile service

    Posted on July 8th, 2009 linuxandfriends No comments

    Earlier, I had talked about the Tata DoCoMo mobile service being rolled out across India. When you buy a mobile service plan from Tata DoCoMo, you get a SIM card, an application form which you have to fill and return to the dealer along with proof of identity such as passport, election ID or driving license copy; And you also get a nifty booklet which details what other value added features the Tata DoCoMo service provides apart from the basic service.

    Here, I have consolidated and listed all the features provided by the Tata DoCoMo mobile service (Pre Paid).

    Call *111# for a screen display or call 12525 for the following :

    • To check your balance
    • To check your validity
    • To add talktime – Recharge – Call *135*2*<Recharge Pin># or 12525. You can also recharge online at tatadocomo.com.

    Call 121 to get details on the following services :

    • To know more about Roaming tariffs.
    • Voice SMS – Dial * followed by the recipient’s number and record your message.
    • MMS – Attach a picture or a video with your text message.
    • Missed Call Alerts – Let’s you know by SMS who called you when your cell phone was switched off.
    • Call Conference – Hold a teleconference with up to 5 people simultaneously.
    • Call Wait – If someone is trying to get through when you’re on a call, a little beep will let you know.
    • Call Divert – Divert calls to any number you like.
    • Call Hold – Put a call on hold while you take another.
    • SIM Security – Every SIM card has a 4-digit PIN code that’s like a password to lock it. The default PIN on your SIM is 1234. Be careful with it. If you get it wrong 3 times, your SIM card dies.  If this happens, then you can call 121 to get the Personal Unblock Key from the mobile service.
    • To block stolen SIM cards and get a replacement (for a tiny fee of course).
