Have you guys seen this article on how Airtel is blocking and monitoring SMSes?

Exclusive: The curious case of words like "discord" and "tiktok" being blocked on Airtel SMS

Airtel appears to block incoming and outgoing of messages containing certain words like "tiktok," "discord," and "shareit."

"This issue also points out privacy concerns because the interception essentially means that Airtel is monitoring the contents of text messages. And whatever automated system was used to filter the words “tiktok” and “discord” now can just as easily be expanded to include words that are anti-establishment, which then makes SMS an unsafe communication tool for journalists and social activists among others"

My mom's number is of Jio. For some odd reason. Receiving messages of Airtel postpaid included with Hotstar. That's the best they can do. Since they can't never match Jio's infrastructure to acquire Jio's customer. They think ads will do it for them.
