T he telecom operators cold war
over termination fees continues,
with now Vodafone India blocking
incoming text messages from Aircel
following a non-payment of
termination charges.
Vodafone has become the second
operator to block Aircel’s SMSes,
with Airtel blocking the services a
couple of days before Diwali.
Vodafone had blocked Aircel’s
network in Chennai, Tamil Nadu,
New Delhi and Karnataka circles,
with the dispute landing at the
telecom tribunal.
Many Aircel customers received
messages mentioning of the block,
with the company assuring it was
trying to resolve the issue. Earlier
Airtel had blocked SMS traffic to
Aircel and Reliance
Communications (RCom), but
connectivity to RCom subscribers
were restored following an interim
TDSAT ruling.
Airtel had blocked the text
messages alleging that the
companies were spamming its
network with “free SMS”. The issue,
which came up for hearing on
Thursday before the Telecom
Disputes Settlement and Appellate
Tribunal (TDSAT) has been deferred
to Friday.
Separately, a dispute between Tata
Teleservices Ltd and Vodafone
India over SMS termination
charges also reached TDSAT.
Vodafone India had issued a notice
stating it would block the Tata
group company’s text messages on
the latter’s platform, unless it paid
the termination fee.
