DND stands for Do Not Disturb mode<\/strong>. If you do not wish to receive promotional calls and SMS then you can register your number and activate DND in it. It will save you from all the annoying calls and SMS. This was an initiative by TRAI<\/strong> (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) to protect consumers from all the unsolicited calls and SMS.<\/p>\n

Reason to register in DND<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

It might happen sometimes that we are in a meeting or busy with some important work, at that time if a call comes on your mobile and that too a promotional call, we get irritated and disturbed. So to avoid that situation you can get your number registered in the DND mode. If a person registers his\/her mobile number in the DND, then it will be illegal for telemarketers to call or send commercial messages on those numbers.<\/p>\n

So without further ado, let us quickly checkout the two methods to register number in DND.<\/p>\n
