Idea has finally launched its 3G services in Mumbai. Earlier this year, Airtel, Vodafone and Reliance Communications announced their 3G services. And now, Idea became the fourth private operator to launch the 3G services in Mumbai circle. Idea is already offering 3G services in Maharashtra, Goa, UP, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh & Chhattisgarh, Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh. Idea subscribers in Mumbai can enjoy speeds up to 21 Mbps on their 3G smartphones.
