Unsolicited and unwanted phone calls, commonly known as spam calls, can be a nuisance and even pose security risks. These calls can range from telemarketing and promotional offers to more malicious attempts like phishing and scams. In this blog post, we will provide you with useful tips on how to block spam calls effectively and discuss how Airtel recharge plans can help enhance your call-blocking capabilities.
Tips to Block Spam Calls
1. Use Built-in Call Blocking Features: Most smartphones come with built-in features that allow you to block spam calls. To access these features, navigate to your device’s call settings and look for options like ‘call blocking’ or ‘call barring.’ Depending on your device, you can block calls from specific numbers, unknown callers, or even all incoming calls.
2. Register for the Do Not Call Registry: In many countries, there are Do Not Call (DNC) registries that you can sign up for to reduce the number of unsolicited calls you receive. By registering your number with a DNC registry, telemarketers and other promotional callers are legally obligated to refrain from contacting you.
3. Use Third-Party Call-Blocking Apps: Several apps can help you block spam calls on your smartphone. These apps use advanced algorithms and databases to identify and block known spam callers automatically. One of the popular call-blocking apps is Truecaller.
4. Report Spam Calls to Your Network Provider: If you continue to receive spam calls despite taking preventative measures, consider reporting the issue to your mobile network provider. Many providers, including Airtel, offer customer support services to assist with spam call complaints and may be able to take further action to block the offending numbers.
