Idea Cellular has launched its GSM mobile services in Bihar and Jharkhand covering over 150 lakh people and providing services to over 2,500 towns and villages in the two states.

In addition to offering its customers a range of VAS products, Idea's 3G ready EDGE network will enable prepaid and post paid subscribers to experience wireless internet on the mobile and computer through data cards.

As part of the inaugural offer, Idea has introduced multiple tariff plans ranging from competitive special tariff vouchers to variable talk time and validity offerings based on the consumption and usage patterns of the customers.

Idea has also tied up with Nokia to provide bundled offers to its customers in Bihar and Jharkhand.

Speaking on the launch, Sanjeev Aga, Managing Director, Idea Cellular Ltd, said, "With Idea's launch in Bihar and Jharkhand we now cover 80% of the Indian telephony market, moving closer everyday to our goal of emerging as a leading cellular operator. A large part of these states' migratory workforce, will now be able to stay connected on our pan Indian network enjoying a truly world class telephony experience. I am confident that we would be able to achieve strong penetration in Bihar and Jharkhand to become the most preferred service provider for all our customers very soon. Idea is committed to delivering unmatched services, which are both scalable and flexible."
