The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) is implementing new rules to filter out fake calling and SMS from mobile phones starting May 1, 2023. This will help users avoid unknown calls and messages.
TRAI has ordered telecom companies to use artificial intelligence spam filters for phone calls and messages to prevent fake calls and messages from reaching the user. Airtel has already started using the filter, while Jio is expected to implement it in the next few months. The introduction of AI filters in India is set to begin on May 1, 2023.
TRAI is working on introducing the Caller ID feature, which will display the photo and name of the caller when the phone is received. Talks are ongoing with the Truecaller app of Telecom companies Airtel and Jio. However, telecom companies are hesitant to implement the feature due to privacy concerns. TRAI is also seeking a ban on promotional calls made from 10 digit mobile numbers to stop fake calls and messages.
