Reliance Communications announced Inter-Circle roaming partnerships with other leading telecom companies to offer non-stop and best-in-class pan-India 3G services to its GSM customers while roaming. With this innovative alliance, all existing and new 3G customers of Reliance Communications will be able to access high-speed pan-India 3G services while roaming outside the Company’s own 3G circles.
“We are delighted to be the first operator to offer 3G national roaming to our customers in partnership with other telecom firms having state-of-the-art 3G networks. These alliances will further consolidate RCOM’s position as the leading data operator in the country and will help the Company improve its post-paid and Corporate customer marketshare,” Mr Gurdeep Singh, Chief Executive Officer, Consumer Business, Reliance Communications Limited, said. “We have always delivered innovative products and services to our customers with incredible affordability and, at RCOM, we strongly believe in connecting every Indian and bringing about a discernible change not just in their lifestyles, but in their lives as well,” he added.

Reliance Communications offers 3G services in 13 Circles nationally—Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Punjab, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, Himachal Pradesh, Bihar, Orissa, Assam, North East, Jammu & Kashmir. With the new 3G roaming partnerships with other leading Indian telecom companies, customers of RCOM can now enjoy affordable and non-stop 3G data services across the country while roaming.
This unique offer will also add immense value to frequent domestic travelers and provide them with ease of use, and seamless 3G data connectivity across the country. For instance, RCOM’s 3G customers in Delhi and Mumbai—who already enjoy best-in-class 3G services in their home locations due to the Company’s robust IP back-haul and 200,000 km of fiber—will now also be able to avail of the same quality of 3G data services when roaming in Chennai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Kochi in the southern region of the country; UP-East and UP-West in North India; and Gujarat and Maharashtra in the western part of the country.
Reliance Communications is the leading data operator in the Indian telecom industry. For the quarter ended 31 December 2013, the company had 36.2 million data customers, including 11.1 million 3G customers, making up the largest 3G customer base in the industry. The 3G GSM partnership, therefore, opens up a significant market opportunity for RCOM, as all its 3G customers will now be able to access best-in-class data services on a pan-India basis.
