USNMix Report: TRAI verdict,
30 seconds on mobile and 60 seconds on landline.
30 seconds on mobile and 60 seconds on landline.
Incoming call on mobile
phone (Ringtone) will now ring for a maximum of 30 seconds and a maximum of 60
seconds on landline. Such a telecom regulator TRAI has decided. TRAI has
approved the Standards of Quality of Service of Basic Telephone Service
(Wireline) and Cellular Mobile Telephone Service (Seventh Amendment) and
Cellular Mobile Telephone Service (Seventh Amendment) 2019. Regulations, 2019)
has been released.
TRAI, while improving the
quality of service rules for basic telephone service and mobile telephone
service, said that if an incoming call is not cut or picked up, the bell on the
mobile will be maximum 30 seconds and the basic telephone (landline) will be 60
seconds.
Time was reduced to reduce
expenditure
However, telecom companies
had already reduced the ring time of incoming calls to reduce their expenses.
This was done by calling other networks. But, now if you are a customer of
Airtel and call Vodafone or any other network, the ring will ring for 30
seconds.
Vodafone reduced time to 25
seconds
Let us tell you that Airtel
and Vodafone Idea had reduced the time of ring tone to 25 seconds on calls
going out of their network, which was usually 40 to 45 seconds. The motive
behind this is to reduce the cost of Interconnect Usage Charge (IUC) on the
call according to the time the call is connected. The Telecom Regulatory Authority
of India (TRAI) had asked the telecom companies involved in the intense
competition in the IUC case to reach a solution. TRAI has issued instructions
after talking to them.
What is IUC
IUC is provided on one
network to services offered on another network. In this, the network through
which the call is made pays this fee to the network that reaches the call.
Right now its rate is 6 paise per minute. Airtel has told TRAI about this.
Vodafone Idea has also decided to reduce the period of ringing of the phone in
select areas.
