Other telecom networks, such as Airtel, Vodafone Idea, and BSNL, seemed unaffected by this outage. Jio users took to social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) to express their frustrations, using hashtags like #JioDown to highlight the situation. Many reported being unable to make calls or send messages, while some claimed their internet was unusable.
Some users humorously commented on the situation, with one remarking, “Jio Network Outage, Vodafone and Airtel Users laughing in the corner.” Another comment humorously implied that Jio’s founder, Mukesh Ambani, might be upset with the service disruption.
