IDEA

Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh IDEA, operating in India, provides mobile network services with the Mobile Country Code (MCC) 404 and Mobile Network Code (MNC) 78. IDEA, now integrated with Vodafone India to form Vi (Vodafone Idea), historically provided crucial connectivity to the states of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. Situated within the Asia & Middle East region, India's telecom sector is highly competitive, boasting numerous providers vying for market share. Services included 2G, 3G, and eventually 4G, addressing the growing demand for data and mobile communication in these states. The network played a significant role in connecting the predominantly rural populations across Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, regions often lagging behind in infrastructure development compared to other parts of India. IDEA’s presence helped bridge the digital divide, enabling access to information and communication technologies. Before the merger that created Vi, IDEA competed with other major networks like Airtel and Jio for subscriber base and coverage, continuously investing in network expansion and technology upgrades to remain competitive within India's dynamic mobile landscape. While operating under the 404-78 MCC/MNC, consumers could use modern mobile phones to make calls, SMS messages and utilize mobile internet connectivity.
