Many Airtel users took to their twitter handles to complain about the network outage with comments like “First it was 30 mins, This time it was 4hrs, Next time it’ll be a day” and others suggesting the telco should sell the company to competitors like MTN if the can’t handle the market.

It’s not clear about the cause of the network outage, however, the Airtel giant came out to say something later in the day.


The network outage that occurred on 9th October 2019 affected voice calls & data services of customers across the country. Currently, services have since been restored to normal.
