How to use the Airtel website, a phone call, or a text message to activate Do Not Disturb

Buzz Buzz As a rule, we get calls and messages from people who don't identify themselves. Last but not least, these are just spam. There are times when these messages are extremely irritating. Most people waste a lot of time responding to spam from unknown senders. It's rude to interrupt someone while they're in the middle of a crucial task. If you're sick of getting spam on your phone and want to stop it, you can do so by turning on the Do Not Disturb feature. Find out more about DND, how it functions, and how to activate it on Airtel in this in-depth guide.

Simply put: what is DND?

'Do Not Disturb' is abbreviated as 'DND.' Indications are provided by the name alone. When you turn on Do Not Disturb, you won't receive any calls or texts from third parties, like scammers or marketers. Airtel, like most other telecom providers today, offers Do Not Disturb (DND) services that can be activated in a matter of seconds. If your cellular service provider offers this option, you can use it.

For what reason do you need to set DND?

The solution to this puzzle is simple. Turn on the Do Not Disturb (DND) service if you're sick of receiving spam calls and texts from unrecognized numbers. Disruption and annoyance are one thing, but in many cases, people lose their hard-earned money after being tricked by fraudsters into sharing personal data like their Bank Account Details, One-Time Passwords, CVVs, etc. Having this happen while you're in the middle of an online lecture or meeting, or God forbid, taking a test, could be disastrous. After turning on DND, you won't have to worry about any of that. You won't have to waste time guessing if an unknown contact is legitimate or just a spam or promotion message.  

After learning about the benefits of DND, you can quickly sign up for it by using one of the simple options outlined below.

Phone solicitations disguised as spam can occasionally prove useful.
