What caused Ntc 4G network and VoLTE issue?
Ntc earlier mentioned that a technical glitch caused issues in its 4G network, affecting mobile data and VoLTE services. Users couldn’t get 4G signals or make VoLTE calls on their devices. Also, those who receive (including myself), the mobile data was not working and not stable while the 4G signal was also subject to immediate loss. But thankfully, as soon as the company discovered the issue, they started work to restore the service.
It’s also speculated that the company’s billing system caused the network outage. The company is currently working to bring in a new billing system.
But while 4G and 4G-based VoLTE service was down for about four hours, the company’s 3G and 2G services were working fine. Similarly, you could even use Ntc VoWiFi without any issue.
