Read properly bro, all cities are listed beside each other, separated by commas, irrespective of the circles they belong to. I didn't say Nathdwara is in Chennai, I said it was launched in both these places on the same day. You can see the same pattern is followed throughout my post.
Ya read again in between you replied.

I am getting 5G in Thrissur, Kerala but I dont think they have formally launched it here
 
Jio 5G in Coimbatore. This is in the city outskirts. Again similar to Airtel 5G this is not officially Launched in Coimbatore.

Well the network drop problem with JIO5G is real. Although I haven’t got 5G signals yet but I have been noticing call drops A LOT!
Ever since I enabled 5G in settings, dialing a number would need multiple attempt to successfully call them plus my network speed also dropped a few times and battery consumption has increased.
But after disabling 5G in settings, all of those problems are gone. I guess the network is switching to 4g for call and then back to 5G, which disrupts the consistency of connection.

Basic calling on iPhones 12 and up is a big fail when you have enabled 5G.

Most of the times, when you disconnect a call, the iphone fails to fall back to 5G and shows 5G logo but 0 signal strength. Now you can't immediately dial another number in this state. Sometimes it catches signal by itself after a min or so or rarely it loses signal completely till you toggle Airplane mode on - off.

So many times my number is going out of coverage as per callers even after having full network.

I hope they implement VoNR as fast as they can. Because this fallback to LTE is not working as expected.

I have also noticed that their LTE network itself is having issues when I disabled 5G but to a lower extent. We have resorted to Facetime Audio calls as a result which seem to work even better with 5G data and it's associated low latency.

Same here, even on Android the fallback to VoLTE for calling and switching to 5G for data is a pain, works sometimes and doesn't sometime. The calls don't go through, have to either put it in airplane mode and remove or manually switch to 4G mode. There should have been a quick toggle for switching between 4G and 5G.
