Number Jumble for CDMA users
With the subscriber base of almost over 7 mn, CDMA operators trying to catch up their counterparts, GSM operators, have made the consumers suffer yet again.

CDMA users may have new telephone numbers very soon. The present 8-digit number system, which comprises of the STD code followed by the number, will be changed to a 10-digit system like that of GSM. While one has to prefix a "0" before the number when making a long distance call in GSM, the system followed by CDMA is very lengthy and complicated.

The present numbering scheme for CDMA mobile is meant for a short distance charging area (SDCA), since it was introduced as a limited mobility service and is the same as that for the landlines.

My gosh!!! How much will the poor CDMA consumer suffer!
