Tata Docomo seems to be getting a lot of attention amongst mobile consumers in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. So we went ahead and bought a Tata Docomo SIM Card to check out the service . Tata Docomo is Tata’s foray into GSM sevices in India and the different pricing strategy has already grabbed our attention.
