About IDEA

The IDEA mobile network, operating in the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana regions of India, represents a significant player in the country's telecommunications landscape. Within the framework of global mobile network identification, IDEA utilizes the Mobile Country Code (MCC) of 405, which definitively places it within India in Asia & Middle East, and a Mobile Network Code (MNC) of 908, uniquely identifying it amongst all other Indian networks. The operator provides 2G, 4G, and sometimes even 5G services to a large subscriber base throughout the states, offering a mixture of prepaid and postpaid plans. Historically, IDEA Cellular merged with Vodafone India to become Vodafone IDEA (Vi), to strengthen their market position against the aggressive expansion of Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel. While Vodafone IDEA is a nationwide operator, the specifics of network performance and service offerings can vary regionally, making the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana IDEA network, with its specific MCC and MNC, an important point of reference for understanding the nuances of mobile communication quality across India.
