This sector is highly competitive as new players coming in, with aggressive price offering, high promotion, better network quality and great customer service. 157 respondents participated in this study. Out of this five variable tested (Service Quality, Pricing, Switching Cost, and Brand Image) it is found that Responsiveness and Brand Image have a positive relationship on Customer Loyalty.

In conclusion service providers must be able to understand the effect between customer satisfaction and customer loyal. It will be a great challenge for the service providers in preparing their strategic plan in maintaining customer loyalty, and at the same time expending their customer base.
