Today I received a call around noon, Thought that call could be one of importance, I picked it up, The TV was on and I fumbled to pick the remote to mute, However the caller on the other side was insistent to talk, I told him to wait and you know what he said? (By this time I lowered the voice from TV) He was saying in Hindi "Kam Sunai padhta hai kya, kaan kharab hain" which means - are you deaf - you can't hear?
I asked him who are you? He said he is a tele caller and wants to sell me some loans, Can you think of my reaction - How on earth - an uninvited caller calls and tells me that I'm deaf... I yelled - top of my voice I yelled and told him to go to hell.
But does it ends here? received another call - this time an automated voice all from shine.com saying I've uncompleted resume - How on earth these people can call me? wasting my time, intruding my privacy and most importantly - who gave them the right?
So I checked as what is the procedure to enroll for DND.
Apparently you just have to send a SMS to 1909 saying START 0
I did that and guess what - I am already registered in first place.. so why did I get these calls? and what ACTION can I take to do something about it?
So I checked again and the Indian government have some rules about disconnection of fines etc but I did not get any link to complaint.
Airtel does not list anything on how to complaint about a pesky call, Vodaphone had some text, Idea page does not even open..
Finally found that you can complaint to same no 1909 with following format:
COMP TEL NO XXXXXXXXXX, dd/mm/yy, Time hh:mm
So I did send 2 complaints today to my service provider about these calls
SMS to 1909
