Voice and Data magazine, which analyzed the statistics released by the telecom watchdog TRAI to industry data and inputs, set the number of active mobile users in India at 500 million, which is well below 800 million dollars is expected that the official number of mobile subscribers.

Voice & Data, India's telecoms industry magazine Publisher's largest South Asian special media information, the report estimated the regulator this month put the entire mobile service 810000000 March, assuming a net increase of 20 million in March 2011.
A note in April 6 statement gives the first warning: "The active wireless subscribers in the VLR 563 million in February 2011, indicates that the actual number of mobile users in India is lower than the grade 810 million or even 791 million.
The VLR or Visitor Location Register is a database of subscribers who have wandered into the jurisdiction of the mobile switching center (MSC) which serves it. Each base station in the network is served by only one VLR, and thus a customer can be present in more than one VLR at a time.

This grace period can vary considerably, even extends to month or a year, even if those users are unlikely to renew and recharge.
The second major drawback is that it is not paid subscriptions. If a person has two SIM cards, will appear as two subscribers in the TRAI data. The details of this study appear in the next issue of Voice and Data is available online voicendata.com.

There is no solid data on multiple SIM ownership, a trend very large in India, through the large number of handsets sold SIM double and triple. According to industry estimates conservative multiple-SIM ownership at least 15 percent to 30 percent of the total SIMS. That is, if you randomly select 100 users moving to India, they will own 115 to 130 active SIM them. Other industry sources say that figure is too conservative, and multi-SIM ownership is well above 30 percent.
"The combination of SIM cards for mobile phones to an entry price of Rs 500 and above, and" login affordable life plans provoked a surge of new mobile connections, "said Naveen Mishra, Senior Analyst, Telecommunications India looking CyberMedia. Support Voice & Data argument further, he adds. "More than a third of the handsets sold in the country during the quarter ended December 31, 2010 was a telephone double or triple-slot SIM, compared with less than a hundred multi-SIM mobile phone sales during the quarter ended March 31, 2009."
