10 LARGEST MOBILE PHONE COMPANIES IN SOUTHEAST ASIA
Mobile phones have definitely changed the way we live and really came a long long way. From the 1st Generation “you’ve-got-to-be-kidding-me!” super-bulky Motorola DynaTac to the 2nd Generation GSMs to the smallest “dude!-have-you-seen-my-phone?” tiny weenie models of the 3rd Generation.
Southeast Asia has a total 44 mobile network providers and we have more than 500 million people -- That’s half a billion potential subscribers. Of all these 44 companies, which ones attracted the most customers?

I think Viettel will probably move up into number 8 and 9 soon. With an aggressive marketing campaign and plan to move into the Cambodian market, the military-owned Viettel will likely to continue dominating the Vietnamese mobile market for awhile yet.
smart sucks Bigtime
hey i subscribe to singtel, but recently Telkomsel has been spamming my cell with all sortsa promotional messages. And i dont even live in indonesia!
@ Nam...Viettel is a strong company. It would be bigger than most very soon.
@ Gorjess...SMART I think is the first mobile fone company in the Philippines, yeah? Next to the defunct PhilTel.
@ Manami...hello! Nice to see you around again. I checked your blog! What a smart girl! You're a linguist, yeah?...Telkomsel is partly owned by SingTel, so the messages you get is SingTel's idea. LOL!
Great post! Question, what causes there rankings to be higher or lower? Would it have anything to do with their customer service? Please feel free to rant or rave about these companies at www.measuredup.com
since you include singtel's overseas based customer in the 124-million subscriber count i dont see why you should not do the same thing to Malaysian Celcom and Maxis. They have overseas operation too.
