TRAI wants to know how long your phone should ring

Kolkata: How long should a phone ring before a disconnection? That’s the focus of the sector regulator’s latest consultation paper, wherein the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) has sought views on the maximum call ringing time permissible to ensure optimal usage of phone network resources, including spectrum.
Trai has also sought feedback on whether mobile users must be given the option to customise the ringing duration to improve customer convenience, and possible ways to do so.
Maximum ring-time is now configured in the phone network, beyond which the network releases the connection forcefully, if the called-party does not answer.
