            Abstract : 
Mobile technologies are gaining more popularity and diffusing into every aspect of our lives. Value added services (VAS) have a huge impact on consumers´ usage patterns. They are considered as a significant differentiator across the operators. This study explored the factors impacting the adoption of mobile services. Through a field study, product preference factors were studied. Service cost and speed were found to be the most critical factors.
