If you're tired of struggling to identify spam calls, help is on the way! Telecom companies are about to roll out a solution that will show the caller’s name along with the number on your screen. The inter-operator trial will be completed next week, and all telecom companies will submit their reports by April 18. If the trial proves successful, you'll no longer have to worry about distinguishing between spam calls and important ones. Here's everything you need to know about this exciting development.

No More Guessing Unknown Calls

Often, it's difficult to tell which calls are spam and which are important, especially when the number is unknown. Soon, this problem will be solved, as telecom companies are completing their inter-operator trial next week. If the trial is successful, caller identification will show not only the number but also the name of the caller, helping you identify whether the call is legitimate or spam.

Key Details of the Trial:

• Trial Deadline: The inter-operator trial will be completed by April 14, and telecom companies will submit their reports by April 18.

• Telecom Companies Involved: Jio and Airtel have already completed their trials. The trial between Airtel and Vodafone will begin next week. These trials are being conducted in Haryana and Maharashtra.

What is the Caller Name Presentation Service?

This service, known as Caller Name Presentation (CNP), will make it easier to identify callers. With CNP, when you receive an incoming call, not only will the number appear, but the caller’s name will also be displayed. This will significantly reduce the uncertainty around unknown calls, especially spam.

Government's Move Against Spam Calls

The government has ordered telecom companies to roll out this service as soon as possible. The primary reason for this initiative is to curb the rise of spam calls, which have become a major nuisance for mobile users. If the trial goes well, the service will be gradually introduced across the country. However, 2G users will need to wait a bit longer for this feature.

This move promises a much-needed relief for many mobile users who have been dealing with frequent spam calls.
