    All of the major national and regional carriers with CDMA networks have stopped selling CDMA phones.

  • Reliance Communications, TATA DOCOMO and MTS India are major wireless services providers on CDMA2000 EV-DO in India. Govt-owned BSNL is also offering EVDO services, though voice services comes with CDMA2000-1X only. Another Govt-owned company MTNL also offer 1X based mobile & data services in Delhi and Mumbai. Another operator HFCL operates under Ping Mobile, offers only voice services in Punjab circle.
MTS India was the world's first mobile operator to deploy EVDO Rev B phase II network in Jaipur. EVDO Rev B Phase II network of MTS India is capable to offer up to 9.8 Mbit/s (2 x 4.9Mbit/s) downlink using two carriers of 1.25 MHz spectrum. Soon Tata Tele also rolled out EVDO Rev B phase I network to deliver 6.2 Mbit/s (2 x 3.1Mbit/s) of peak downlink using two carriers of 1.25 MHz spectrum. Both operators' EVDO Rev B services are limited to dongle based services and branded as MTS MBlaze Ultra and Tata Docomo Photon Max respectively.
In India GSM is predominant over CDMA, and CDMA technology is not getting much importance from the operators. Reliance, Tata/Virgin, HFCL, BSNL and MTNL have their GSM business too. MTS India is the only operator in India with pure-play CDMA business.
