The next time you get an unsolicited call on your mobile phone displaying an international calling code, dial 1963 to report it, the government said today.
“A toll-free number — 1800110420 or 1963 — has been opened by all the telecom services providers (TSPs) for the purpose of reporting by customers which further helps in unearthing of illegal telephone exchanges,” Minister of State for Home Affairs Hansraj Gangaran Ahir said in written reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha.
He said that an SMS from telecom operators saying that “while receiving international calls, if local or STD or no number is displayed on your phone, please inform on toll-free number” is sent to customers periodically.
