Why would they disturb subscribers more aggressively? I dont think that will happen .TRAI is working in maximum level to reduce telemarketing calls. Don’t you feel so? What more they can do to stop pesky calls?

What everyone think this kind of action will stop unwanted calls & sms? After disconnection are these telemarketers avoid to disturb dnd subscribers? Or they will opt new connections & start disturbing dnd subs more aggressively? What all of u think on such TRAI’s action. Would u think telemarketers will leave to calls & sms to india’s biggest, developed market? Pl post ur views here
