Welcome, we at SMSIdea (Provider of Bulk SMS Service in India) are trying hard to filter out the unwanted communication by educating the consumer’s as to how they can Register a DND (Do Not Disturb) Complaint against the Unwanted Calls and SMS. To know the Process Simple follow the steps:
Step 1:
First check whether your number is registered in DND or not
Note:
Depending on the result, follow the step 2
Step 2:
Condition 1 : The number is registered in NCPR
If customer receives UCC (Unwanted Calls or SMS) even after 7 days of registration, he can register a complaint with his service provider within 3 days of receipt of such UCC by dialing or sending SMS to 1909. Customers will have to provide the telephone number or header of the message from where the call or message has been received, short description of such call or message along with the date of receipt of call or message.
For complaint through SMS, customer has to send SMS "the unsolicited commercial communication, XXXXXXXXXX, dd/mm/yy" to 1909. Where XXXXXXXXXX - is the telephone number or header of the SMS, from which the UCC has originated. The telephone number or header and the date of receipt of the unsolicited commercial SMS may be appended with such SMS, while forwarding to 1909, with or without space after comma.
