It seems finally our government is awake from the usual sleepiness and started reforming things pro-actively. I’m talking about the compulsory ID and address proof submission for mobile phone customers and the recent stringent measures to do an NDNC check by telemarketers.
I keep two numbers, one postpaid and another prepaid, and I was asked to submit the proofs for both the numbers to avoid disconnection. I was pretty happy to submit them and even happier to know that whoever has not submitted before the deadline actually got their connections cut until they submitted the relevant documents. I’ve heard may people cribbing about this extra work that interrupts their busy life. But I would say we should whole heartedly support the authorities to complete this process smoothly. Just blaming the government when some tragedy happens won’t help. Without our active support and co-operation it’s tough for such things to be taken care of in a huge country like ours.
It’s quite annoying to receive a telemarketer call while we are in the middle of something important. Subscribing to NDNC was an option but however, it never worked as expected. But these days I get SMSes from various marketers asking me to un-subscribe from NDNC to continue to receive their messages. Also some service providers (local search engines) used to send information as text messages no longer texts but sends it by email. Whoever is fed up with the nuisance of telemarketing should consider adding their number in NDNC. It really works. There’s even an option to partially allow your favorite class of marketers reach you and disallow others.
