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

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