A new service called Intra Circle Roaming (ICR) is here to help mobile users stay connected, even when their own network signal is weak. This service allows Jio, Airtel, and BSNL users to automatically switch to another network available at the same tower, ensuring uninterrupted calls and 4G data.

How Does It Work?

The ICR service lets telecom companies share mobile towers built with government funding under the Digital Bharat Nidhi (DBN) project. If your network signal is weak or unavailable, your phone will connect to another network on the same tower.

This means you’ll always have access to the best available signal, no matter which network owns the tower.

Helping Remote Areas

The government plans to bring 4G coverage to 35,000 villages using 27,000 shared mobile towers. This will improve connectivity in remote areas, making it easier for people to access education, healthcare, and business opportunities.

Benefits for Everyone

Better connectivity: Fewer dropped calls and faster internet, even in areas with poor signals.

Shared towers: BSNL, Jio, and Airtel users can all use the same towers, reducing the need for separate infrastructure.

Cost savings: Sharing towers helps telecom companies lower expenses, which could mean better services for users in the future.

With this new service, staying connected has never been easier!
