India Against SpamA social initiative against mobile spam
Problem• Mobile revolution in India led to sharp decline in cost of SMS/Call
• It makes sense to advertise on mobile.
• Spam SMS and calls.
• Gross infringement of customer’s privacy.
Solution(by TRAI)• All tele-marketeers should register with TRAI.
• Customers can register for DND(Do Not Disturb).
• If even after registering, they get spam, they can file a complaint by:• Noting down details – date, time, content, etc.• Create a SMS with a very complex format.• Send to 1909
Problem with solution• Too much effort.
• The format is too complex. Almost impossible to get the format correct while typing.
• Each operator has his own implementation of operator.
Features• Free.
• No ads.
• Single tap reporting of spam SMS/Call.
• Automatically identifies operator/circle and applies the correct format according to your operator.
• Registering for DND directly from app.
