Want to escape from the telemarketing phone calls/SMS………!!!!!

Posted under Public Interest

A good news for those are disturbed by the unwanted telemarketing phone calls and SMS. :-)

Any Mobile or landline subscriber who does not wish to receive telemarketing calls, can request their telephone number be included in the NDNC (National Do Not Call) Registry. Such request are sent through their telecom service providers which will be stored in National Do Not Call Registry, which was established on Sept. 2007. Subscribers can make a Do Not Call requests via Letter, phone, SMS or on-line.

Any existing subscriber or new subscriber can request his telephone number be included in the National Do Not Call Register. Such request would be free of cost. The telecom service provider will acknowledge the request within ten days. Requests will become effective in 45 days from the date of request. For more details visit http://www.ndncregistry.gov.in

If you are a BSNL mobile customer, type a message “DNC ACT” and send it to 53733. Landline customers can contact 1500 and register for DNC.

I am very glad to avail this services. As I work in night shift, I suffered a lot due to these telemarketers calls during day time, when I was deep asleep. Most of the time I had to switch off my mobile to escape from this calls. Because of this, I missed lot of important calls.

Today I registered for DNC service and will not switch off my mobile.

Hats off to Supreme Court and TRAI ….. :-)
