At that time mobile represents the status symbol in India. It was even difficult to receive an incoming because it costs to receive an incoming. Most of the handsets are highly priced. However under the wise leadership of Indian government the whole situation has changed. There is a sharp decline in the price of handsets and call charges.

Recent introduction of India one plain by state owned BSNL (Bharat Sanchar Ingam Ltd) in which you can call any where in India for one minute in one rupee, has intensified the competition. At the end of this year we can also see the full fledge launch of 3G network in India, which will make India one of few countries with this facility. Already partial 3G network is available in India.
