After starting its high speed fourth generation internet services in Kerala last month, Vodafone India has made available 4G SIMs for its customers at all of its 56 exclusive stores located at prominent locations in and around Mumbai. The Indian unit of British telecom giant Vodafone Plc plans to start offering its 4G services by March 2016.
To avail of 4G services, customers will need to have a 4G-enabled handset and a new 4G-ready SIM card. These are being made available ahead of the service’s commercial launch Mumbai, a company statement said, adding a formal announcement about the launch will be made in due course.
“We want our customers to be 4G-ready, so we have introduced this facility to upgrade to 4G-ready SIMs in advance,” said Ishmeet Singh, Business Head–Mumbai, Vodafone India. The statement said customers can walk into a nearby Vodafone store and get their new 4G-ready SIM. They will continue to enjoy uninterrupted mobile internet as per their existing plans and will be automatically upgraded to 4G as soon as the services are launched commercially. Vodafone, the leading telecommunication services provider in Mumbai with 8.6 million customers, has successfully tested its 4G services on its network architecture coupled with strong backup to support the expected volumes and speed requirements of its customers.
