The telecom<\/a> regulator’s efforts to curb pesky commercial calls<\/a> appear to be in vain as mobile users are being increasingly bombarded by unknown callers. A whopping 66% of mobile users continue to get 3 or even more pesky calls<\/a> every day and most originate from personal mobile numbers, according to a national survey by LocalCircles<\/a>.
The survey found that 78% of these calls related to selling financial services and real estate. Ironically, 92% of mobile users surveyed complained of being plagued by pesky calls night and day even after registering their mobile numbers on the Do Not Disturb (DND) list. Trai will have its hands full when it does a reality check on the pesky-call situation on February 17.
