Vodafone-Idea Network Down In India: After Airtel users reported an internet outage, telecom service providers Jio and Vodafone Idea also faced network disruptions just hours later across the country. Several users complained of call and mobile data outages in different regions. According to Downdetector, a portal that tracks tech glitches, over 200 reports of Jio outages were recorded around 5 PM on Monday.
The Vodafone Idea outage has been affecting users in cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Jaipur. Meanwhile, Jio’s outage map shows a more widespread impact, with users in Chandigarh, Hyderabad, Lucknow, Patna, Ahmedabad, and several other cities also reporting issues. Notably, the problem was first flagged in Delhi-NCR before spreading to Mumbai and Bengaluru. However, the telecom majors were reportedly impacted by a technical issue but there is no official response regarding this.
After this outrage, Jio officials clarified to Zee Media that “the Jio network has been operating normally throughout the day with no operational issues. All Jio-to-Jio calls and calls from Jio to other non-impacted networks have been working seamlessly. The only problem observed was in calls made by Jio numbers to customers of a specific impacted network, due to downtime on that network’s end. This did not affect Jio customers calling within the Jio network or connecting to any other networks. We assure our customers that the Jio network continues to perform optimally, and services remain fully available.”
According to Downdetector, nearly about 44% of Vi users reported mobile internet issues, 37% faced problems with calls, and 19% said they had no signal. On the other hand, nearly 52% of Jio users faced problems with mobile internet, 30% reported issues with JioFiber, and 17% said they had no signal at all.
In the afternoon, Airtel users across several parts of India reported widespread network outages today, August 18. Meanwhile, several users moved to social media platforms to report the issue about not being able to make calls and access data services using their Airtel number.

However, the reported issues were widespread and not limited to a single city, with users from metro areas such as Bangalore, Mumbai, and Delhi sharing concerns online and on social media platforms.
