Vodafone Idea Warns Customers to Not Pick Calls from Suspicious International Mobile Numbers

Vodafone Idea, the country’s leading telecommunications service provider is sending out SMSes to its users stating to stay away from suspicious numbers. Telcos usually warn their users to stay alert all the time and not pick up any unwanted incoming voice calls received on their mobile phone, but this time around, Vodafone Idea is sending out a text message to each and every customer notifying that there might be some threat behind that suspicious voice call. “While receiving an international call, if an Indian number or no number us displayed on your phone, please inform on toll-free number 1800-110-420 or 1963,” reads the message from Vodafone Idea.

Vodafone Idea Urges Users to Keep the Company Informed About Suspicious Calls

The newly formed entity of Vodafone India and Idea Cellular is seeking help from its subscribers to trace out these calls. As the message by the company reads, it’s asking the users who received an anonymous voice call to immediately inform by calling the toll-free numbers- ‘1963’ or ‘1800-110-420’. This news is reported by ET Telecom stating that several Vodafone Idea customers are receiving the same message.

For the unaware, the two helpline numbers mentioned above were introduced by Trai last year, making it easier for subscribers to immediately report any suspicious call they receive. Every year, the government traces out such anonymous calls from unknown mobile numbers based on Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), so if you receive any such voice call, go ahead and dial the numbers mentioned above.
