Latvia and Lithuania will get their hand on the product with the help of ‘TeliaSonera’. Globe Telecom and O2 will deliver the product in Philippines and the Czech Republic respectively.
T-Mobile and Orange will look after Slovakia. The prior will be looking after Hungary alone where as the later along with Era will take care of Poland.
TeliaSonera and EMT will be looking after Estonia. India will be handled by Vodafone and Bharti Airtel.
