Spam calls and SMS are rapidly increasing. If you thought artificial intelligence and machine learning would shield you from them, you might be mistaken, as cybercriminals are now using such technologies—such as robocalls—to send spam calls and messages to you.
For Jio network users, there's an easy solution to block these unwanted calls and messages with just one click via the MyJio app. You can completely block spam calls while still receiving important messages and updates from brands, like OTPs, or partially block them to allow some advertisement calls through.
To block spam calls and SMS on the Jio network, you need to activate Do Not Disturb (DND) services. Keep in mind that this will block spam as well as some telemarketing calls.
You can further customize DND services by selecting specific categories of calls and messages to block, such as banking, real estate, education, health, tourism, and more.
Even with the full block option enabled, you will still receive transactional calls/SMS from service providers and government agencies.
To activate this, open the MyJio app > tap on More > Do Not Disturb > and choose either Fully Blocked, Promotional Communication Blocked, or set a custom preference.
