New Delhi: Smartphone users in India are noticing an added feature to their calling screens. New names are now coming with unknown numbers. This has changed a lot of people into wondering how their phones have discovered an intuition of who is calling even when the number is not in their contacts. This change can be attributed to the slow implementation of Calling Name Presentation (CNAP), which is a new telecom facility being implemented at the orders of the Department of Telecommunication (DoT) and the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI). The feature will enhance the recognition of callers and address the increasing concerns on spam calls, robocalls and phone-based fraud. What has changed on your phone? So far the incoming calls from an unknown phone number would only display the number of the caller. In CNAP, the name of the caller who has registered a name can also be viewed. This simplifies the process of making the decision to either pick up or not to pick up a call,...
