What is Intra-Circle Roaming?

Intra-Circle Roaming is sharing network of one operator with another operator. The primary objective of ICR is always to expand the area of coverage. This helps people stay seamlessly connected to each other. At a time like this in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, the government would want everyone to have communication lines with the relevant authorities and their loved ones in case of emergencies.

With this move, people living in Andhra Pradesh and Telanaga can now use any available network, regardless of the carrier/provider. Your phone in most scenarios would automatically connect to the best mobile network available in the region. If it doesn’t, you can go to the settings > mobile network > network operators.
