Hi Sneha,

I'm not sure about the other data (You may be able to find aggregate
reports?), but the page history of
https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mobile_partnerships seems to have
data on the countries and carriers, and which date they were switched on.
I'm not sure how reliable the switch-off would be. It also includes a
statement on the languages and which version of Wikipedia is concerns.

Best,
Lodewijk
