The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has launched a new mobile application called 'DND' (Do Not Disturb) to help users manage promotional calls and SMS preferences effectively. The app is designed to block unwanted communications and provide a seamless experience for reporting spam.
Key Features of TRAI DND App
The DND app allows users to register their preferences for receiving promotional calls and messages. Users can choose to block all commercial communications or selectively allow certain categories. The app also enables easy reporting of unsolicited calls and SMS directly to TRAI.
How to Use the App
Users can download the app from Google Play Store or Apple App Store. After installation, they need to verify their mobile number via OTP. The app provides options to set DND preferences, view complaint status, and track actions taken against spammers.
- Register DND preferences for calls and SMS
- Report spam with a single tap
- Track complaint history and resolution status
- Block specific numbers or categories
The app is available in multiple languages including English, Hindi, and other regional languages. TRAI has urged all telecom subscribers to use the app to curb the menace of unwanted commercial communications.
Impact on Telecom Users
With this app, users can now have better control over their communication preferences. The app aims to reduce the volume of spam calls and messages, which have been a major nuisance for mobile phone users in India. TRAI has also mandated telecom operators to integrate with the app for faster resolution of complaints.
The launch of the DND app is part of TRAI's ongoing efforts to protect consumer interests and enhance the quality of telecom services. Users are encouraged to provide feedback to improve the app's functionality.
