3. Can i send this message without this app?
Yes of course, you can. However you need to send the SMS in a very specific format which is hard to be generated by users. If sent in a wrong format, you will receive an error from your operator.
4. There are other spam blocker apps as well, how this is different from other apps?
Numbers reported using this app will never be able to send a UCC again because other apps hide such spams from your phone. This app, however, offers something more permanent by sending a SMS to TRAI to block such numbers
5. I don't see all my calls and SMS. Why?
As per TRAI regulations any UCC should be reported within 3 days of receiving. That's why this app hides SMS/calls older than three days.
6. Are calls and SMS from my contacts filtered?
Yes. This app only shows calls and SMS from numbers those are not in your contact list.
7. What happens when I report a UCC to TRAI?
You get a confirmation from your operator about your report. You also get a complaint number. Your operator issues a warning to the sender to never send a UCC to your number. If they send you UCC again there are fines for a second incidence.
8. Is sending SMS to TRAI free?
Yes. Sending SMS to 1909 is toll-free.
9. I sent a message, Now I am getting errors about wrong format?
Even though TRAI has specified one universal format, different operators have implemented their own format for reporting UCC. You let us know the operator name and we will incorporate changes in app to support those operators. However, you might also get "Default not configured", "Generic failure error" or "Service not available" errors. These are errors on operator's side. Please contact your customer care.
