RELIANCE Infocomm on Thursday announced it has commercially rolled out its international roaming facility.

Reliance Infocomm is the first Indian CDMA operator to offer this service, it said in a statement. To begin with, the company had launched international roaming with top operators in the US, Israel, China, New Zealand and Indonesia and was in an advanced stage of starting service with many others, it said.

It is close to signing up with 12 operators in 11 countries across three continents, which accounts for 90 per cent of the global CDMA footprint. Reliance Infocomm already has agreements with China Unicon, Pelephone Cellular Communications (Israel), Sprint PCS (US), Mobile-8 (Indonesia) and Telecom Mobile Ltd (New Zealand).

The other countries in the pipeline are the US (operators in addition to Sprint), Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Australia, Hong Kong, Thailand, and Canada.
