Excessive Ad’s

Anyone here think that the number of random sales calls have increased in the last few months ? Lately I’m being bombarded with random unsolicited calls mostly with pre-recorded messages.

Anyone know any solutions to stop receiving these calls - DnD doesn’t seem to be working

Use TRAI DND app to start reporting those calls. Number will start dropping gradually.

+1 - I have been ruthlessly complaining about unsolicited SMS / calls using TRAI DND app. Over time the spam calls have reduced a lot. Also, in random places where they ask you to share phone number don’t give your real number.

I use doosra there. It's been worth 800 for it.

Yes, I too noticed that. I think it is happening since 2022 beginning. Looks like, earlier they used to ask real humans to call, and now they fired them and started automation there too. In some cases, upon picking up it first plays waiting tone and then connects to customer care, which is so frustrating. I think there is no solution (for iPhone), I just disconnect within 2 secs and then block the number.

My phone uses this ( https://www.hiya.com/products-smart-call ) by default. Check if your phone has something like this too. Auto blocks spam / fraud calls for me.

Use multiple blockers to filter them out. Doesn't work all the time because we have way too many spam calls
