Idea Cellular snaps interconnect services with Aircel

Idea Cellular has suspended its interconnect services with Aircel, 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," said the Kumar Mangalam Birla owned operator in a statement.

Idea Cellular regretted 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," said the company.


Interconnect services will be restored by Idea immediately upon Aircel making payment towards the outstanding dues, India's third largest telco added.
