Tata Docomo Wi-Fi roaming cards (scratch) offers plans depending on the time one desires to use the services. These Wi-Fi roaming cards can be used at any Tata Docomo hotspot across India.

Wi-Fi hotspots are getting popular in the metro cities. Tata Docomo already provides such facilities in other public areas such as Delhi Domestic and T3 International Airport and Feroz Shah Kotla Cricket Stadium. 

Recently, MTS launched its Wi-Fi services on Gurgaon Rapid Metro. The company then said it planned to launch Wi-Fi services at more places in NCR and in other cities. Looking at the trend, we can expect more Wi-Fi hotspots in metro cities.
