Tata DoCoMo rolls out GSM mobile services in yet another Indian state

Tata Teleservices Ltd (TTML) launched its GSM services under Tata DoCoMo brand in Maharashtra (a state of India). Earlier I had talked about the features of Tata DoCoMo mobile service and why it was one of the best mobile phone services yet available in India.

Tata DoCoMo has announced a range of products and innovative tariff options. However, its most popular selling point is its 1 second pulse which means you are only billed for the time you use which has been factored to a second.

In Maharashtra too, Tata DoCoMo has rolled the GSM service with the following features -

1. Pay as you use (one second billing)
2. Life time plan – Your mobile phone number will not lapse if you do not top up.
3. Pay for three connections and get 100 SMS free every day.
