Stop Unwanted Phone Calls by Registering Your Preference

Are you fed up of the growing menace of unsolicited telephone calls? Now TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) has recently issued some regulations for the hi-end customers with the prime objective to ensure them not to get any promotional nature of commercial communications unless they opt for receiving them. So you can block these unsolicited phone calls by registering your preference with your current service provider by sending text messages. For blocking these pesky calls, there are two choices for you – fully blocked category and partially blocked category.



If you have already registered your cell number with NDNC, you need not register your number again. You will come under fully blocked (no telemarketing calls/SMS) category. In this case, you can change your preference.
