Vodafone globally is one of the largest mobile signal provider. Vodafone in India is under partnership with Aditya Birla Group’s Idea. The company provides cellular services in pan India across 2G 3G 4G spectrum. With the large spectrum available, Vodafone Idea is committed to deliver ever increasing demand and also playing a huge role in supporting Digital India. After the merger of Vodafone and Idea, it became the biggest telecom provider in India both in terms of customer and revenue. After the merger Vodafone Group had 45.2% share in the combined entity, 26% is owned by Aditya Birla Group and the rest were made public. Jio and Airtel are the two main competitor with huge subscribers. But with aggressive marketing, the company is still among the top telecom companies in India.
The company’s tag line, where you go, we follow is actually a myth. Despite being one of the biggest cellular telecommunications conglomerates and operating on 2G 3G and 4G technology, Vodafone users still find it difficult in some parts of the country to catch a strong signal. Our customers complain about the call drops and poor voice quality. This problem is partly because of the enormous customer base throughout India with finite cell towers. Other reasons for poor cellular network is the landscape of our country and infrastructure. The problem is not limited to rural areas where the cell towers are low, it also persists in major cities because of infrastructure and high rise buildings. Concrete, metal and cement also play a huge role in blocking the signals. Rough terrain like mountains play a significant role. In fact weather can play a significant role in cellular network.
