3 reasons causing call drops.

1. Lack of Towers

     Due to mobile phones, especially smartphones, becoming more affordable, it has brought them to everyone's hands. But the number of tower remaining the same. Thus, due to high number of users and less number of network towers have burdened the towers

2. Burden of Subscribers

    As said earlier, the number of mobile phone users have increased. Earlier its used to be that each phone had single sim feature, thus every person could maximum use one sim in their phone. But now, after the entry of Jio in India and latest smartphones coming with minimum dual sim slots, the number of sim card users have increased, as everyone likes to have two phone numbers – First one being Jio and the secondary one being of any other telecom operator.

3. Lack of Spectrum 

       Mobile phones use the radio waves ranging between 300 – 3000 Hz. Lower the range better will be the transmission. India has three frequencies for GSM, 900, 1800 and 2100 Hz. 900 and 1800 are used for 2G and 2100 is used for 3G. As the number of 4g subscribers increased, the spectrum bands finds it hard to serve the mammoth population.
