Are you tired of all those pesky telemarketing SMS messages promoting services related to banking, insurance, finance, health, real estate, ongoing offers, etc.? This also includes various fraudulent SMS which itself are Spam and can eventually betray the users in some kind of unfair practices. To overcome this problem, you can simply Register in NDNC Registry to stop promotional calls and messages from Telecom Operators. But that would entirely block Unsolicited Commercial Communication that might Not be preferred by everyone. So, it’s better to report about those Fake/Spam SMS only!

SMSpam is a free and must have app for Android that makes this possible. The app does the complicated task in a certainly easy way, by allowing users to Report SMS as Spam in a few taps. It simply extracts the information from the spam sms and reports it to 1909 (toll free) as per TRAI guidelines. It has a cool and easy to use interface, you just need to run SMSpam, select a specific SMS message and report it as Spam. Upon reporting, you’ll receive a SMS stating that your DND-related SMS is received and will be processed within 24 hours. They will send a service request number for it accordingly. The app also shows a Score which lets you determine number of reports made by you.

This is indeed a great and useful app. We hope it also had the feature to report calls.

Note: Works only in India.

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) today issued “The Telecom Commercial Communications Customer Preference Regulations, 2010”. This Regulation covers both Commercial calls as well as SMSs and will be effective from 1st January, 2011.

The new telecalling rules are pretty strict as compared to Do Not Call Registry and will surely provide a relief to telephone and mobile customers, who are bombarded and ripped with unsolicited telemarketing calls and SMS, sent through the service provider.

A brief of New Rules laid by TRAI is given below:

• Customers can choose to be fully blocked (no calls, no SMSs) or partially blocked (specific categories only)

• 7 categories from which customer can choose are – Banking/Insurance/Financial products/credit cards, Real Estate, Education, Health, Consumer goods and automobiles, Communication/Broadcasting/Entertainment/IT, Tourism & Leisure.

• Customer registration will be effective within 7 days of registration unlike in the past when it used to be 45 days.

• Customer can register by ringing 1909 or sending SMS to 1909 (Toll Free). Customer currently on the NDNC register will continue to be under ‘fully blocked’ category.

• The defaulting telemarketers will be liable to pay heavy penalties. First offence Rs. 25,000; Second offence, 75,000; Third offence Rs. 80,000; Fourth offence Rs.1,20,000; Fifth offence Rs. 1,50,000; and Sixth offence Rs.2,50,000.

• A separate numbering series 70XXXXXXXX will be allocated for telemarketers, so that all telemarketing calls can be easily identified and customer can reject such calls.

• No commercial communication, even for unregistered customers, shall be sent between 9.00 PM to 9.00AM, so as not to disturb the customers at night.
