Easy steps to block spam calls

New Delhi: Most people are annoyed by spam calls — offering loans, insurance, or credit cards —.  No matter what network do you use (Jio, Airtel, Vi or BSNL user), anyone can block all the promotional and spam calls without any hassle, but by using the DND (Do Not Disturb) service.

This is a free government-backed service started by TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) to protect users from unwanted communication. To activate DND on any network, send an SMS with the text “START 0” to 1909 from your phone. You will then receive confirmation steps to complete the process.

Tap on ‘More’ or ‘Services’
