Airtel 3G service in Mangalore

[^Saraniya^]

I am residing in the Mangalore city. And I am using Airtel sim card in my Nokia 5800 mobile phone. I want to use this 3G service in my mobile phone. So someone please tell when airtel going to released service in Mangalore. I don’t want to use tata docomo 3g because I don’t have trust on the network of tata and also I don’t want to change my mobile number also. I had tried calling on the customer care but they are not providing proper details and on the website also there is nothing much mentioned.

I am using Airtel sim card with new Nokia N900 mobile phone. I have to wait for the release of Airtel 3g service in Mangalore and I am not sure when it is going to come. I had dropped a email to Airtel and they replied that there still sometime for the same. So here you can get a sim and for the time being you can try using something else. There are TaTa Docomo, BSNL, etc also in the area that offer you reasonable 3G service. I had heard about TATA Docomo that they have recently launched 3g service in some selected cities. I will update if I find more information on that.
