Tata Teleservices Limited, India's fastest-growing pan-India dual-technology telecom service provider, emerged as the Number One telecom operator in the country for the forth consecutive month in November, in terms of new subscriber additions, adding more than 3.3 million subscribers in the month.

We have added close to 15 million new subscribers over the last four months-this figure itself is a testimony to the efforts that have been put into making our network and services the best in the industry."

"In the recent past, we have announced some fantastic products and offers-such as our introducing 'Pay-for-exactly-what-you-use' pricing paradigm for roaming services as well on the TATA DOCOMO platform. From the Tata Indicom stable, customers have had access to the innovative Pay Per Call offer, as also a unique per second plan, wherein is a subscriber speaks for three minutes, the next three minutes are free.
