It gets really annoying when you are busy in a meeting for driving or engaged in some other work when your mobile phone starts ringing and when you pick up you are showered with credit card offers, insurance policies and what not. Such calls and messages do not contain special service related information, due to which such calls or messages are not useful and it seems right to close them. To avoid these, DND is used. The meaning of DND is 'Do Not Disturb'. This service was started by the TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India), which is to be believed by all telecom companies in India. Using this service, the customer can prevent uninterrupted phone calls and SMS from coming to his phone by telecom companies. If a customer registers their mobile number under DND, then any unsolicited SMS or call from his phone will not come from the company.

How to activate DND by SMS and call

Different telecom companies operating in India like BSNL, Airtel, Idea, Vodafone, Jio etc. are using DND in the same way.

As per TRAI, consumers can register their telephone number or their mobile number for inclusion in the NCPR (National Consumer Preference Register) for simply dialing 1909. Below is a description of the special code and process for this.
