Calls from unknown numbers and spammers are very challenging thing for a mobile phone user. And to fix this problem, we have applications like Truecaller to block spammers and unknown numbers and Phone by Google app also comes with built-in spam identifier. Now, to offer an enhanced experience, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) approved a proposal by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), which mandates the name of the caller to be displayed as the default on the receiver’s phone and to achieve this goal, the authorities will be introducing a new feature called Calling Name Presentation (CNAP).
It will be offering information about the caller after verifying their identity during the SIM registration process. This will be available as a supplementary service along with a basic telecom service. So let’s get into the article to check out the full details.
All you need to know about CANP
According to TRAI, the upcoming CNAP service will be enabled by default across all telecom subscribers in India and If a user is not want to use the service then he or he can request their telecom service provider (TSP) to disable it. Once the feature rolled out, it will be showcasing the name and identity information of the calling party on the receiver’s smartphone, without using any third party application like TrueCaller.
It is also said that the new service could help in curbing unwanted spam calls. Currently, only mobile or landline numbers are displayed as Calling Line Identification (CLI) during incoming calls, with no mandate for CNAP. The upcoming CNAP service is currently in the testing stage for 4G and 5G networks in Haryana by Jio and the service is believed to be available across the country by 2026.
So let’s wait for the official roll out of the new service and you guys are recommended to stick with us for more updates at your fingertips.
