Stop Receiving Promotional Calls/SMS on your Mobiles

All the Leading mobile network providers like Airtel, Idea, Vodafone, Tata Indicom/Docomo etc.. send lots of promotional SMS/Calls to keep you updated on the latest offers/plans provided by them. But it is annoying if you receive those SMS/Calls in huge number.

To stop promotional calls/sms from the network providers, you can send an SMS stating that you’re not interested to receive such calls or sms. To do so, you can activate DND (Do Not Disturb) service which many of you may not know because the publicity of this service is not properly done.
