CNP Service: Till now, mobile users used to get information about the caller through the third party app Truecaller. In which there is a risk of mobile users’ data being leaked. Now when a call comes, the name will also be displayed along with the number. It will show the same name, whose SIM has been taken with the Aadhar card number. This service will soon start all over the country
If no one’s number is saved in your smartphone. In such a situation, when a call comes from an unknown number, the first question that comes to mind is who is the caller. Now this problem will end soon. Soon, the name of the caller will also be visible when a call comes from an unknown number. Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has issued instructions to the companies in this regard. Telecom companies have started trials in Mumbai and Haryana circles. So far this trial has been successful in the initial phase. Now this facility called ‘Calling Name Presentation’ (CNP) will start from July 15 across the country.
In this, the name of the caller will be displayed on the basis of the information filled on the KYC form while purchasing the SIM. This service is being started with the aim of curbing spam, fraud calls and cyber crime. After pressure from the government and Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), the companies have started this testing.
How does CNP service work
To know the result of how CNP is working, we are testing it in limited numbers. In this, the name of the caller will also be visible along with the number during the incoming call. CNP service is similar to the company’s existing caller ID application. But it will not have any adverse effect on their business. Telecom companies also believe that this step will help in preventing cyber crime in the country. Apart from this, there will be success in stopping spam calls. Spam calls have become a big problem in the country. According to a survey, 60 percent of the people definitely get 3 spam calls a day.
Instructions to block fake international calls
Recently, the central government has instructed telecom operators to block all those fake international calls. In which Indian numbers are visible when the call comes. The Department of Telecom (DOT) was receiving complaints related to this. Cyber crime and financial fraud are being done with people through these calls.
