Government app will end spam calls and unnecessary SMS

3

If you are also troubled by the daily spam calls and useless SMS, then there is a good news for you. Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has launched a new app, which is helpful in getting rid of telemarketing calls and promotional messages. With the help of this app, you can register your number and decide which commercial messages you want and which you do not. You can block all promotional messages by selecting the Full DND (Do Not Disturb) option, or choose Partial DND to receive only those categories of messages that are useful to you.

How does TRAI DND app work?

This app provides users the facility to easily activate DND, thereby stopping all types of promotional messages. If you wish, you can opt for partial DND to receive messages only in the categories you choose.

Additionally, the app also lets you directly lodge complaints about spam calls and SMS. It only takes a few seconds to lodge a complaint, and you can track its status in real time. Thus, the entire process becomes transparent and you are kept informed about every update.

TRAI disconnects over 1.84 lakh telecom connections

TRAI has recently reported that it has closed more than 1.84 lakh telecom connections in 2025. All these connections were linked to unregistered telemarketers (UTMs), who were sending promotional messages to people without permission.

TRAI says its DND app has been developed to ensure secure communications based on the consent of users. This means that you will now be relieved from unnecessary promotional messages, while messages related to essential services will continue to be received without any interruption. If you also want to avail this facility, then you can easily download the TRAI DND app from Google Play Store or Apple App Store as per your phone.
