It will be based on 1800MHz FDD-LTE band 3, which the company acquired last year. Back in October last year it promised to roll out 4G services in Delhi/NCR region by December, but it got delayed. It launched 4G services in Kerala last month and it was launched in Mysore (Mysuru), Karnataka earlier this month.
“Customers upgrading to 4G-Ready SIMs will be rewarded with free 1GB 4G internet at the time of launch. All they need to do is send a short text message to GO4G to 199,” said the company.
Vodafone already announced that it will increase the intensity of its 4G rollout covering important metros – Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru and Kolkata in the first phase, and also said that it has already started testing 4G services in these cities.
Today the company said that a formal announcement regarding the 4G launch in Delhi will go up in due course. It is expected to roll out 4G services in Kolkata, Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru by March 2016.
