We will increase the number of devices that offer regional language content and experience from next month onwards as well as enhance the bouquet of languages for our consumers.

Reverie has launched a PhoneBook application in Hindi, Gujarati, Gurumukhi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and English which will be free till the end of 2013. Facebook for Android and Facebook Messenger on Samsung will also support 9 Indian languages.
