Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has informed telecom users that they can now register their numbers on the TRAI DND App and easily manage their preferences for promotional calls and SMS. In an X post, the regulator shared key steps that can help users gain better control over unwanted communications.
"Getting spam calls every day? Unwanted calls & SMS can be frustrating and inconvenient. Ever wondered how to stop them? Blocking will not help - there's a more effective solution available," TRAI posted on X on Monday.
