cellone

Andaman Nicobar Cellone represents the sole mobile network operator serving the unique and geographically isolated Andaman and Nicobar Islands in India. Operating under Mobile Country Code (MCC) 404 and Mobile Network Code (MNC) 79, Cellone provides crucial connectivity to this strategically important archipelago located in the Bay of Bengal, which forms part of the Asia & Middle East region. It’s a particularly crucial service compared to mainland India, given the islands' limited infrastructure and dependence on reliable communication for both its residents and the significant tourism sector. Unlike the larger private players such as Jio, Airtel, and Vodafone Idea that dominate mobile services on the Indian mainland with their extensive 4G and 5G coverage, Cellone's infrastructure likely offers a more tailored (and potentially less advanced) service due to the challenging island environment. Providing cellular coverage across a scattered island chain presents unique logistical and engineering hurdles. Consequently, Cellone plays a vital role in bridging the digital divide for the island communities, and its MCC/MNC designation is a critical identifier for roaming agreements and network recognition for visitors to this distinctive part of India. Discussions surrounding future upgrades and infrastructure improvements are frequent as the region seeks to enhance its telecommunications capabilities to match those of the mainland.
