FINDING Few years back mobile connections were not common among the students. But with the mobile revolution now we can find almost every student with mobile phone. Most of the students prefer prepaid connections than postpaid connections. Most preferred cellular company amongst the students is airtel and the least preferred company is reliance. Maximum number of respondents were attracted towards the coverage facility and the least like the roaming services. T.V. and internet are the best media advertisements that put more impact on the students buying decisions The monthly expense of maximum students was ranging from 150-300. Maximum number of students are loyal to there particular service providers and they were using there connections since 2 years.
Thank You !
