TRAI FIXES RING TIMINGS FOR MOBILES, LANDLINES

Nov. 3, 2019

In a couple of weeks from now, mobile phone users will get 30 seconds to answer or reject a call, before it is considered a missed call.

About:

  • In a new regulation, the Telecom Authority of India (TRAI), has fixed the ring time for calls made to mobiles at 30 seconds, and those made to landlines at 60 seconds.

  • As per specifications by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the timer value for international calls or circuits is in the range of 1.5 minutes to 3 minutes but there is no prescribed value for the timer for domestic calls.

  • The rules bring to an end a face-off between Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel over the issue. Last month, Bharti Airtel had cut the ringing time for calls made by its subscribers to 25 seconds from about 45 seconds, in retaliation to a similar move by rival Reliance Jio.
