Telco war: RJio makes live operator-wise call drop data

NEW DELHI: Taking its fight against incumbent telecom operators to the next level, Reliance Jio today made live the data on call drops its users are experiencing due to Airtel, Vodafone and Idea not providing enough interconnectivity.

The Mukesh Ambani-run firm added a link on its website detailing call drops experienced during a 24-hour duration.

In doing so, Jio has carried out the threat it had issued in a statement earlier this month of reporting operator-wise call failure numbers “in the spirit of putting the customer-first and complete transparency.”

Jio today put out data for September 22 saying over 12 crore out of 15 crore call attempts by its users failed.

The data would be updated periodically.

Of the 6.13 crore call attempts made to Airtel network on September 22, 4.8 crore or 78.4 per cent failed. The failure on Vodafone network was higher at 84.1 per cent with 3.95 crore out of 4.69 crore calls failing while 3.36 crore out of 4.39 crore calls made to Idea users failed.

The company said 81.5 per cent out of 0.43 crore calls made to Airtel network during busy hours failed while 87.8 per cent out of 0.26 crore calls to Vodafone dropped. Of the 0.28 crore calls made to Idea network during busy hours, 82.2 per cent failed. (AGENCIES)
