New Delhi: To curb the menace of phone users getting promotional messages from unregistered marketers, the telecom regulator has directed all mobile operators to reverify registered headers and message templates of telemarketers on the distributed ledger technologies (DLT) platform to ensure they are not misused.
Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) on Thursday said it has told telcos to block all unverified headers and message templates within 30 and 60 days, respectively.
