Rising Spam Calls and SMS: How Jio Users Can Block Unwanted Communication
Spam calls and SMS continue to rise at an alarming rate, with cybercriminals now using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to enhance their tactics. Techniques like robocalling are being deployed to inundate users with unwanted communications, making it harder to avoid the deluge of spam.
For Jio network users, however, there is a straightforward solution to block these intrusive calls and messages through the MyJio app. The app allows users to activate Do Not Disturb (DND) services with just a click, offering the flexibility to fully or partially block spam calls. This feature enables users to continue receiving important communications, such as OTPs and updates from trusted brands, while silencing promotional calls.
Customisable Options for Blocking
Jio users can tailor their DND settings by selecting specific categories of calls and messages to block. Categories include banking, real estate, education, health, tourism, and more. This customisation allows users to focus on blocking spam without hindering necessary communications.
For those opting for the “fully blocked” option, all spam and promotional messages will be stopped, though transactional calls and SMS from service providers and government agencies will still be delivered.
How to Activate DND on Jio Network
Blocking spam calls and SMS is simple:
- Open the MyJio app.
- Navigate to More > Do Not Disturb.
- Choose one of the following options: “Fully Blocked,” “Promotional Communication Blocked,” or set a custom preference.
For most users, enabling the fully blocked option is recommended, as it provides the highest level of protection against spam calls and SMS while ensuring essential communications remain uninterrupted.
As spam calls evolve with the use of advanced technology, tools like MyJio’s DND service provide a much-needed shield, helping users regain control over their communications.
