Troubled by spam calls and unwanted promotional SMS? TRAI's app can solve this problem
If you are annoyed by frequent spam calls and unwanted promotional SMS, TRAI's new DND app could prove useful to you. With this app, you can easily decide which promotional calls and messages to receive and which ones to block entirely. Let’s find out more...
TRAI has launched its official DND (Do Not Disturb) app to provide relief to mobile users from spam calls and unwanted promotional SMS. This app allows users to easily manage their communication preferences. In today's times, promotional calls and marketing messages have become a major nuisance for people. TRAI's new app empowers users to decide exactly which types of promotional messages and calls they wish to receive and which ones they want to block completely.
What features and options does the DND app offer?
With the help of the TRAI DND app, users can activate the Do Not Disturb (DND) service directly from their phones. DND settings can be changed or updated at any time through the app. It offers both 'Full DND' and 'Partial DND' options. Selecting 'Full DND' stops most promotional calls and SMS, whereas 'Partial DND' allows users to permit messages and calls from specific categories based on their preferences. All changes are made via OTP verification, ensuring the process is secure and simple. The best part is that users do not need to call a telecom company's customer care, as all settings can be managed directly within the app.
Think of it as telling the system:

- “And these are the ones I would rather not receive.”
More relevance. Less clutter.
