For the past few days in nagpur ,,, there have been numerous blackouts i.e . the signal just disappeared on the airtel network or in some cases the signal was present but the mobile showed that access was denied to the network .... sometimes for as long as half an hour or so ...

anyone facing this problem in the maharashtra circle or is it coz of some maintenance in the nagpur city !!!!!

Nope.. no probs here in Pune.. I guess may be some network upgradation in your city. Faced similar problems about 3-4 months ago however!

Strange! Which area you live in Pune? My get 5 bars always (Even on my half-dead Moto L6). Infact for now, Airtel is at it's best for me :p. I registered at DND as well as on airtel's site DND and hence NO calls/SMS from Airtel, CC calls get conencted instantly, no call drops or network congestion :p ... !
