On X (previously Twitter), people are sharing jokes and voicing their outrage at the service disruption under the hashtag #Jiodown. Some Jio users said that they couldn't make calls, while others complained that they couldn't send or receive texts. Another complaint from several users was that they couldn't access the internet on their phones.

The Downdetector report states that customers in Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Nashik, Kolkata, Patna, and Guwahati have been most affected by the outage. Jio has not yet released any information regarding the outage or confirmed it. 

Tuesday's extensive outage is not the first time Jio customers have been impacted by a significant outage. Users were unable to make calls or send messages from their numbers during a lengthy outage of Jio services in November 2022.
