Reliance Jio Network Outage: Thousands Affected by ‘No Signal’ Glitch
Yesterday, on 26 August 2025, thousands of Reliance Jio subscribers across India were hit by a sudden network disruption, unable to make plans, access internet data, or even receive phone calls.
According to outage monitoring platform Downdetector, the incident peaked around 2:22 PM IST, with over 7,400 reports flooding in. Roughly 67% of users reported experiencing a “no signal” problem, about 17% faced a total blackout, and 16% had issues with mobile internet connectivity.
This widespread interruption prompted a wave of notices on social media, especially on X (formerly Twitter). Users voiced frustrations:
“Jio network is down! I’ve restarted my phone multiple times, but it still shows no service.”
— Pankaj
“Jio is facing a major outage — really disappointing experience. I found out that Jio services are completely down in West Bengal, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, and Bihar as well. There’s absolutely no network. Jio team, please fix this issue as soon as possible.”
— User Dev Ratan
Technical updates suggest that the outage was caused by a “latching issue”—a fault preventing devices from properly connecting to the network. The disruption lasted for approximately 30 minutes, after which services were fully restored
