Spam Calls and Messages: Nowadays every mobile user is troubled by spam calls and promotional messages coming from telemarketing companies. Often when an important call is expected, the phone receives a call from a number that starts offering insurance, credit card or loan. In such a situation, one gets angry, but now it has become very easy to get rid of this problem.

If you also want that no unwanted calls or messages come on your phone, then you just have to take one small step. You can register your mobile number in the Do Not Disturb (DND) registry. After this you will stop receiving any kind of promotional or telemarketing calls and messages.

Activate DND like this

The easiest way to avoid spam calls is to activate DND by visiting your service provider’s website or app.

• First of all open the website of your network provider (like Jio, Airtel, Vi, BSNL etc.).

• Go to the DND section there and enter your mobile number.

• After this, an OTP will come on your mobile, enter it.

• Now if you want, you can block only calls or only messages, or both.

Special facility for Jio users

Block spam calls with just one SMS like this:-

If you do not want to use the website or app, you can activate DND with just an SMS. For this, type -START 0 from your registered mobile number and send it to 1909. After this your number will be included in the DND registry and this service will be activated in a few hours.

Even after this, if you get any spam call or message, then just send a report message – UCC (space) Caller Number (space) Date/Month and send it to 1909.
Example: UCC 9812345678 23/10

Spam calls can be stopped even by calling

• If you don’t want the hassle of SMS or websites, just call 1909.
