Idea suspends interconnect services to Aircel over non-payment of dues

Idea said the services will be restored immediately after Aircel makes the payment

Idea Cellular has said it has suspended interconnect services to Aircel because the latter did not “pay its 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,” Idea said in a statement.

Idea would restore interconnect services once Aircel cleared its dues, it said.

“Idea Cellular regrets the inconvenience caused to mobile users, who are unable to connect with each other. We hope the operator will honour its contractual obligations and payment commitment, in the interests of customers,” the Idea statement said.
