Presently there is now a new dispute between Airtel and Reliance Jio with Airtel writing to the regulator TRAI that Jio is cutting calls originating from its network and terminating in other networks after just 20 seconds of ringer time. Reportedly Airtel’s contention is that Jio is doing it deliberately so that the person called will return the call and will show the Jio network recording more inward calls. Meanwhile Airtel has said that it will also bring down the ringer time to 20 second unilaterally.

Furthermore Airtel’s communication to TRAI dated September 3 has also pointed out the features like call forwarding and other call announcements non-functional. Perhaps Airtel has requested TRAI to direct Jio to increase the ringer time to 30 seconds as is the standard and the direct benefit that Jio gets is that for calls originating from other networks and terminating on its network it is able to raise the interconnect usage charge.



Moreover Jio’s representative was trying to plead for a 25 second limit as per the report on this meeting, maintaining that the 4 or 5 rings during the 20 second period was sufficient for the person called to pick up the call. Jio also quoted figures from other countries like australia and the UK, where the ringer time is as less as 15 seconds.
