Bharti Airtel Detected 51 Million Spam Calls in Rajasthan

Bharti Airtel, the second-largest telecom operator in India, said that it detected 51 million spam calls in Rajasthan. This data is just for the last 10 days. Along with the spam calls, Airtel also said that it detected 1.6 million spam SMSes in the region. The telco deployed its anti-spam AI solution on its mobile networks. This solution helps in identifying spam calls/fraud calls as and when they are made on the company’s network. The beauty of the solution is that it doesn’t cost anything extra to the customer but helps them identify whether the number they are receiving a call from is legit or not.
