Tata DOCOMO joins hand with Opera Software

Tata DOCOMO, the unified telecom brand of Tata Teleservices has announced its partnership with Opera Software to offer a co-branded Opera Mini mobile browser to its users in India.

Tata DOCOMO customers will be able to download this co-branded version of Opera Mini on their devices from m.opera.com.

With Opera Mini, webpages load at speeds comparable to a desktop experience. Opera Mini compresses data to as little as 10 percent of its original size before sending it to the handset; as a result, content is delivered faster, and users can save data costs.

For cost-conscious consumers, this means they can access the web more often, for the same price. Opera Mini's offers features such as Smart Page, Speed Dial, tabbed browsing, password manager, download manager and Opera Link to make the browsing experience smooth and fun.

Commenting on the partnership, Rishi Mohan Malhotra, head (VAS), Tata Teleservices said, "Tata DOCOMO has been at the forefront of providing a superior mobile internet experience to our customers. We are sure that with the experience enhancements like faster browsing and convenient discovery of content that Opera Mini provides, Tata DOCOMO subscribers can truly experience world-class mobile internet browsing like never before."

"According to a recent survey among mobile web users in India, which we conducted along with On Device Research, speed and ease of use were the key drivers for selecting a mobile browser, so it isn't surprising that Opera Mini's easy-to-use interface and speed have made it the most popular browser in India," adds Sunil Kamath, vice president for South Asia, Opera Software.

"Partnering with Tata DOCOMO will help us extend Opera Mini's reach to more users, whether they use basic phones or smartphones," added Kamath.

Opera Mini is designed to work on all kinds of phones.
