I don't know what to say...
You can try mailing the customer care while keeping TRAI in cc. That outta wake them up :)
 
Well, if they are using discarding numbers technique (SMS), I don't know what they can do.. And I feel, a lot of times, its the dealers who indulge in such messages especially the Data card, DTH offer guys - Who happen to be the majority of my irritants.
 
Yeah, thats what i did a month back. But ultimately i didnt get any feedback. I have again bombarded similar sort of mails to TRAI, Cyber crime cell (Since it was a lottery scam sms), and the Idea appellate. I had got a reply too from TRAI telling that few more details were required. I have mailed them as well. Lets see what happens in the days to come!@ Sabir....Then they should look to screw up the owners of the numbers that are advertised in the spam message. This is a huge flaw in the regulation that they have brought in. If they fix it, then the real culprits wont be spared......that is, again if they want to take some strong steps.
 
Just completed my half century of complaints reporting using this tool. Thats 50 SMS in about 2.5-3 months , say about 18-20 per month.Actually might be a bit more as I dont remember if score tracking was there from Day 1, when I installed (march 29).
 
i miss this tool now that i am on a featurephone. have to delete spammy sms when i get them.

You are half way to highest score! After that the app should crash or something. I didn't think of putting a check :)

PS: You should "publish" it ;)
 
The fact that it allows a setting to delete after reporting is cool. So I just have to think, that I am sort of deleting use this tool & the reporting happens as well. Or Vise Versa. Double benefit.

Ok.. Will try & do it. But I am using it more as a feature phone :embarrassed: . I am hardly connected to the internet using it.

So, how to reset counter :Boy Think:
 
This is a great app. I reported one spammy sms and one unwanted phone call, both cases I got positive results from my mobile carrier.
 
I asked Vodafone that please don't inform me by a call, just email me the status. Here's what I got. I love Vodafone.
