Telcos dial into caller ID service trials to combat rising spam calls

Telecom operators have started “limited trials” in Mumbai and Haryana for caller identification (ID) services to curb the rise of pesky and spam calls, according to a report by The Times of India.

According to sources cited in the report, operators intend to expand their operations to other cities in the upcoming weeks.

The introduction of CNAP (calling name presentation) is viewed as a measure to reduce the rise in spam and fraudulent calls observed recently.
