Hi friend! Are you receiving too many telemarketing calls on your mobile number? Or a victim of spam messages on your personal number? Then this is the high time to stop all these activities.

For Fully Blocked DND Service
To subscribe to NDNC just send an SMS as START DND to 1909. No charges for sending the SMS. Actually this is the old SMS format. The new format for fully blocked category is START 0 and send to 1909.
