There was a time when mobile phones / cell phones were
considered to be an item of luxury. Back then mobile
phones were not just used for staying in touch with
people but also for flaunting one’s social status. If
you saw someone next to you using a mobile phone then
you would inevitably consider that the person was very
well off. And back then there were only a handful of
mobile handset providers .
In the present scenario mobile phone industry has grown
beyond recognition. There has been an immense increase
in the number of people who use mobile phones. Almost
one-third of the population of US uses the mobile
phone. This is the reason for which there has been a
dramatic increase in the number of mobile handset
providers as well as the connection providers .
There was a time when, due to low demand for mobile
phones, there were only a handful of mobile handset
providers. However due to the growing demand for mobile
phone now there are at least about a dozen of mobile
phone handset providers in the India. To name a few of
these one may mention Nokia, Samsung, LG, and Motorola.
There are many other mobile phone handset providers as
well but the above mentioned providers have created a
very good reputation for themselves in the world of
mobile phones.
Talking about the mobile industry one cannot neglect the
dramatic up gradation undergone by the conventional
mobile phone handset (which was once upon a time
considered as a status symbol). From being a device that
offered the facility of making calls and sending SMS the
mobile phone has now become a device which accommodates
in itself devices like the radio, MP3 player, camera,
alarm clock, stop watch etc. Yes!! The mobile industry
has undergone a massive change and along with that the
mobile phone features have also undergone a massive
change.
There was a time when there were only two mobile phone
connection provider giants in the scenario of mobile
industry . They were Airtel and Hutch. However, the
scenario has changed a lot now and now many more
providers in the market are providing mobile phone
connections. A few of these new providers are Aircel and
Tata Indicom. Reliance is also a substantial giant in
the field of mobile phone connection provider.
Mobile industry is continuously witnessing competitive
wars between these providers. In a bid to pool in the
maximum mobile phone users, every provider is trying to
attract customers by giving away exciting offers. There
are not just exciting offers but also a general cut in
the call rates from time to time. And these constant
price cuts and special offers confuse the customers
about which providers to go in for.
