Arun 795 Report post Posted November 2, 2006 TRAI directs against unwanted calls on international roaming AgencyFAQs.com 2006-11-02 TRAI has asked all mobile service providers to provide a specific facility to their subscribers that would discourage receiving of unwanted/unimportant calls during international roaming. The Authority has observed that during the international roaming, the subscribers generally do not receive the caller information on incoming calls, making it difficult to identify and choose the calls which they want to answer. The international roaming charges being high, such calls become unwanted baggage on the subscriber. This problem has become more acute due to increased number of telemarketing calls. After consultation with the service providers, as a first step, the Authority has informed all the service providers to provide the facility of ring back tone to their subscribers availing international roaming. This facility shall play any desired message e.g. "I am on international roaming" to the calling party. With this arrangement, the calling subscriber may be discouraged to proceed with the call to the international roaming subscriber unless it is a call of an urgent nature. This facility is easy to implement and the control of switching "on and off" will be with the roaming subscriber. This will also take care of breach of privacy and requirement of taking any permission from the roaming subscribers for implementing this facility. The service providers are required to inform all their subscribers regarding availability of such a facility. For easy implementation of this facility, the Authority has asked all the service providers to devise a simple code by dialing which the roaming subscribers can activate the desired ring back tone. Mobile service providers have been asked to report the compliance within 15 days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
