Frustrated from the Unwanted Calls and SMS and dont know how to Activate the Do Not Disturb Services in India, then we will tell you how to do it.The Indian Telecom Industry has 1000 millions of subscribers, that allow the consumers to communicate with their loved ones by calling or messaging. At the same time, the telemarketing companies make indiscreet calls to consumers to sell their products and flood their inbox with promotional messages, which can be annoying at most times. To tackle this problem, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has come up with a unique solution called DO NOT DISTURB (DND) registry.
What is DND?
To stop receiving unwanted telemarketing calls and messages, you can register with your service provider’s Do No Disturb registry. The service provider will in turn register your number at the National Do Not Call (NDNC) registry within 45 days.
The NDNC Registry is a database having the list of all telephone numbers of the subscribers who do not want to receive commercial calls or SMS. Telemarketers have to verify the calling number list in the NDNC registry before making a call. So rest assured, the telemarketers will not trouble you else they will be fined for calling you.
