Millions of 2G subscribers to face challenges if Vodafone Idea folds up
- Tuesday | 17th August, 2021
Around 134 million 2G subscribers of Vodafone Idea will be the most affected if the telecom operator folds up due to high debt and cash crunch for daily operations. On the other hand, Airtel has already said that it will gradually increase tariffs for all customers, which would make the service costlier for Vodafone Idea’s low-end 2G users. It aims to migrate its existing 4G feature phone users to JioPhone Next and target 2G users from rival telcos like Airtel, Vodafone Idea and BSNL. Not just this, market experts believe Jio and Airtel would face network-related challenges if Vodafone Idea decides to stop operations and go into bankruptcy. The company’s subscriber base declined by 12.3 million to stand at 255.4 million subscribers as against rivals Jio and Airtel, who have 440.6 million and 321.23 million, respectively.
