Block Spam Calls and SMS Easily with MyJio App

The MyJio app offers a simple way for Jio users to block spam calls and SMS with just one click. This feature makes it easy to stop unwanted calls while still allowing important messages like OTPs and service updates.

Why Spam Calls Are Increasing

Spam calls are on the rise due to several reasons:

• Technology Advancements: Cheaper and easier ways to make calls.
• Data Breaches: Phone numbers stolen during data leaks are sold on the dark web.
• Caller ID Spoofing: Scammers disguise their numbers to look trustworthy.
• Public Information: Numbers from social media and public records are often targeted.

A survey by LocalCircles found that over 60% of Indians receive three or more spam calls daily.

How to Block Spam with MyJio App

Jio users can block spam by enabling the Do Not Disturb (DND) feature in the MyJio app. This can:

• Fully block all spam calls and SMS.
• Partially block calls, allowing only some promotional messages.

Steps to Activate DND

1. Open the MyJio app.
2. Go to the ‘More’ section.
3. Select ‘Do Not Disturb’.
4. Choose:
   • Full Block: Block all promotional calls and SMS.
   • Partial Block: Allow limited promotional messages.
   • Customize: Block specific categories like banking, health, or real estate.

Even with full blocking, you will still receive essential transactional messages like:

• OTPs for secure logins.
• Important updates from service providers.
• Alerts from government agencies.

Key Features of Jio DND

• Essential Messages Allowed: OTPs, service updates, and government alerts will still come through.
• Customizable Settings: Block specific types of promotional calls or SMS.
• Easy to Use: Manage DND settings quickly via the MyJio app.
