TRAI DND - Do Not Disturb 4+

All hype and zero action

More updates 9th Oct19: The app died after the IOS upgrade -May it “Rest-In-Pieces”. Until the last version Vodafone use to give you a few more SPAM calls to assure you that they have taken NO ACTION on your complaint.

———-
Further update after using it for 6 months now - still a useless app and no effect on SPAM calls and messages . //// Old review : After a mega-drama by TRAI for getting this app on the store neither have the SPAM nor the SPAM calls stopped. I have registered almost about hundred SMSes and spam callers via the app till date and the only thing assured is a dummy auto-response. The spammers continue to enjoy a free run without penalties and telcos continue to drop calls faster than you can say hello. TRAI in the meantime continues to sit on its throne and play god!!!

Developer Response ,

Hello

Please update your app to 1.0.1 in which your concern has been resolved. Note that you have to report the call or SMS within 3 days for it to be processed.

Superb app but there is bug as well

I am looking for new job and during this period I can not miss any phone call. It was irritating for me when i used to receive number of spam calls. I couldn't even take a nap in the noon so much calls were coming. Finally i found this app where trai is really making pressure on these cellphone companies to stop these spam calls and messages. It's being 10 days now, calls/sms are reused to 10%.

But there is a bug also in the app. I reported a promotional sms and rather than sending the phone no of the sender, this app appended number of one of my friends and now he is getting warning emails from Airtel to justify a promotional sms he sent.

Coincidentally he shared this issue with me and when i checked all my sms history, i found app has added his no rather than real sender's no. Now it is necessary to check no in the 1909 sms before sending. Pls fix this bug asap.

Useful app but TRAI effort is checkmated by my service provider

Why should Vodafone trigger a call back and insist on confirming my name, phone number and read out the entire sms when trai app passes it on straight through. This just makes me waste time if I want to pursue any junk sms / call. It will result in customers not using the app and service providers and trai declaring hollow victory over junk calls.
The complaint should go straight througha and service providers be asked to reply by email or sms on final outcome instead of making more junk calls to the customers from agents who can barely converse.
