The Telecom Department has asked the telecom operators to begin the pilot run of the Calling Name Presentation (CNAP) feature, which allows users to see the name of the incoming caller. The department expects the pan-India rollout of the feature by March 31, 2026, as per a PTI report.
Vodafone Idea is said to have already begun the CNAP pilot in Haryana. Meanwhile, Jio will begin the pilot in Haryana for calls coming in from anywhere in the country.
