BSNL Rolls Out New Security Feature In Its Selfcare App; Jio, Airtel, and Vi Don’t Offer It; Here’s How To File Complaint | Technology News

With this new security feature, BSNL is taking proactive steps to protect users from malicious messages and improve their overall mobile experience. 

BSNL has experienced a significant increase in subscribers following the recent tariff hikes by private telecom operators such as Jio, Airtel, and Vi. These companies raised their recharge plans by up to 15% starting July 3, leading many users to switch to BSNL.

In an effort to retain both new and existing customers, BSNL has introduced an easier method for users to report unwanted messages, addressing the growing issue of spam and Unsolicited Commercial Communication (UCC).

Through BSNL’s UCC complaint service, users can report fraudulent SMS or voice calls by accessing the BSNL Selfcare app and submitting the required details to file a complaint. This service is a unique offering, not currently provided by other leading telecom operators like Jio, Airtel, and Vi.
