Although mobile phones are necessary in the current digital era, millions of people deal with spam calls on a regular basis. Smartphones are used for everything, including work and enjoyment. However, spam calls that offer credit cards, insurance, or loans can be annoying. These calls frequently occur at strange times, depress you, and potentially put your privacy and data at danger.

For those who use smartphones, there is good news. Anyone may easily stop all promotional and spam calls by utilizing the DND (Do Not Disturb) service, regardless of the network they use (Jio, Airtel, Vi, or BSNL).

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India, or TRAI, launched this free government-sponsored service to shield customers from unsolicited communications.

Send an SMS from your phone with the words "START 0" to 1909 to enable DND on any network. Steps to finish the procedure will then be sent to you as confirmation.
