How to set up Do Not Disturb on the Airtel network via their website, by phone, or via text message

Buzz Buzz Unknown callers and message senders are a common occurrence. Ultimately, these prove to be spam. These notifications have the potential to be extremely annoying at times. Most people waste a lot of time responding to spam emails from people they don't know. When someone is in the middle of something crucial, they do not want to be interrupted. Activating Do Not Disturb (DND) on your smartphone is the first step you should take if you, too, have been inundated by SPAM and would like to put an end to the same. This article will explain DND, how it functions, and how to activate it on Airtel.

DND stands for what?

Do Not Disturb is commonly referred to as "DND." The name pretty much sums it up. By activating do not disturb, you can avoid contact from unknown callers, such as spammers or marketers. Even Airtel, like most other telecom companies today, offers DND services that can be activated with a click of a button. If your wireless service provider offers this option, you can use it.

To what end do you require DND to be on?

That's a simple question with a straightforward solution. Turn on the Do Not Disturb (DND) service if you're sick of receiving spam or unwanted calls from third-party services. Disruption and annoyance are one thing, but in many cases, people lose their hard-earned money after being tricked by fraudsters into sharing sensitive information such as their Bank Account Details, One-Time Passwords, CVVs, etc. This could be a major issue if you are currently participating in an online lecture or meeting, or even more so if you are taking an online examination at that time. By turning on DND, you can avoid all of these situations. You won't have to guess if an unknown contact is legitimate or just a spam or promotion message.
