Therefore, the knowledge of "what the customer thinks" and "what consequently would contribute to his satisfaction", is the requirement of the marketer. Information technology has changed the present socioeconomic environment enormously. The expanded horizon of telecommunications has led to the substantial increase in mobile services. The present study assesses the consumers' awareness and attitude towards different mobile service providers in Lucknow. The paper aims at studying the consumer satisfaction and its future impact on socioeconomic changes. To achieve the objective of the study, a sample of 200 randomly selected mobile users of Lucknow city was taken.
