Sad thing is... people will still fall to scams after listening to all that.

I know quite a few people, including my best friend, who didn't believe me that they are getting into a scam and then lost money.

Recently I ported to airtel prepaid and the first con I found is everytime when I am calling some number , cyber fraud voice message is playing for sometime and then calling is going , in jio also same message is playing but during the message itself call is connecting in the backend...I guess worst decision to switch to airtel

No other option than to wait for 90 days or if someone knows how to stop this voice message please let me know

Press 1 during call and it will not play.

But again bro why should I press...in jio also same message is playing but call is also connecting in the background, so you will hear the message till the receiver pick the call , I feel this implementation is better than airtel one

Even with a smartphone it requires 2 clicks, really irritating...they should follow jio

This how they have implemented it, I use jio and airtel both, and yes on jio the message is played while ringing and is much better implemented now. Earlier on jio it was similar to airtel's message but we could not skip it. The major gripe for me on airtel is that the data top ups now come with their own validity and data gets deducted even if we are on 5G.

Yeah right! Its cumbersome on both dumb and smart.

Back in 2020, i ported to airtel and during that time covid message used to play whereas in jio no such message, after 4 years I thought airtel might have improved but I see airtel still plagued with same issue..next what..hmpev virus ..feels more like YouTube where you see ad 1/1 , ad 1/2 etc
