How irritating it is at time when you are in a meeting or at the hospital when you get a call offering you a credit that you already have? Or asking you to take an insurance policy that you don’t need?
National Do No Disturb/Call Registry for your rescue !
I am not sure if you guys know about this. It takes 4 weeks to be registered. I got my confirmation the other day.
Register your number with the national Do Not call/ Disturb Directory of India.
Now TRAI is planning to introduce fines for the unsolicited caller up to Rs 20,000 !

Hey, this actually appeared in a recent tamil movie (actually Rajasekar’s telugu dubbing movie - “Eppdi irukku udambu”
- in this movie in one scene, the villain who is in despair - desolate with ever-winning hero, at that time suddenly he gets a phone call asking whether he wants personal loan… Hilarious piece :)))

Have done this.. it takes time to take effect but it works…
I always used to get calls on Sunday afternoons (siesta time)

@Ruhi,
Oh, I am not sure what happened.
Do you get unwanted calls like these in the US? Is there any regulatory body such as TRAI?
@Srikath,
lol
Seems like the villan forgot to register himself !!!
@Vijay,
yea, they used to wake me up early in the morning (9AM IST) .
January 23, 2008 at 9:30 am
No we don’t get unwanted calls here on cell phones. It’s strictly banned because the incoming is not free.
We don’t get any useless sms’s either…because even incoming SMS’ are charged. LOL. Good riddance.
January 23, 2008 at 12:38 pm
@ Ruhi,
Thats good (no unwanted calls)but then charges for incoming smses???? (that’s bad)
Somethings in India is just right !
