Mobile users of Idea Cellular and Aircel will not be able to call each other. Idea Cellular has suspended interconnect services with Aircel Ltd due to non-payment of dues. "Despite several reminders for releasing the dues since November 2017, the operator has failed to meet its payment commitments forcing Idea to suspend interconnect services, as per the terms of interconnect agreement between both parties," Idea Cellular said in a statement.
Idea Cellular regrets the inconvenience caused to mobile users who are unable to connect with each other. We sincerely hope that the operator will honour its contractual obligation and payment commitment in the interest of customers." It added. Interconnect services will be restored by Idea immediately upon Aircel making payment towards the outstanding dues.
