The launch marks the completion of the first phase of rollout of Vodafone's 4G service in Kerala, Karnataka, Kolkata, Delhi-NCR and Mumbai, Sood said.
Built on the efficient 1800 MHz band, this state-of-the-art network would enable Vodafone 4G customers to access internet at high speeds across a range of smart devices, he said.

"Initial response from customers who have experienced our 4G services has been positive and encouraging.
"Vodafone's global expertise and experience of launching 4G across 19 countries gives us a better understanding of this technology and the needs of the 4G customer," he said.
