How to Stop Spam Calls and SMS on Jio, Airtel, Vi and BSNL
How to Stop Spam Calls and SMS on Jio, Airtel, Vi and BSNL
With the rise of spam callers and scams, activating Do Not Disturb (DND) services is essential for mobile protection. Users on Reliance Jio can now customize their DND preferences directly through the MyJio app, while guides are available for Airtel, Vi, and BSNL subscribers to block unwanted communications.
Mobile users in India can now take direct steps to block unwanted spam calls and SMS messages by activating Do Not Disturb (DND) services tailored to their specific network operators. The threat of uninformed citizens falling prey to scammers and entities with malicious intent has made basic call and SMS protection an essential utility for mobile subscribers.
For Reliance Jio users, a significant update was introduced on December 2, 2024, allowing customers to customize their DND preferences directly through the MyJio application. This feature provides a streamlined method for users to manage their privacy settings without needing to dial specific codes or visit physical stores.
While the focus has recently shifted toward Jio's app-based customization, comprehensive guides remain available for subscribers of other major Indian telecom providers. Users on Airtel, Vi (Vodafone Idea), and BSNL can also activate DND services to protect their numbers from unsolicited communications. The process typically involves registering mobile numbers with the respective operator's DND framework, ensuring that promotional and commercial messages are filtered out.
The availability of these tools addresses a growing concern regarding the volume of spam callers on Indian networks. By utilizing the MyJio app for Jio users or following specific activation steps for Airtel, Vi, and BSNL, subscribers can effectively reduce the risk of fraud and unwanted interruptions.
