Telecom regulator TRAI has issued instructions to telecom operators to roll out CNAP service. It was directed to roll out this service to identify fraud and scam calls from unknown numbers. This allows users to know who is calling them even if they don’t have Truecaller. Airtel, Jio and Vodafone Idea have rolled out the service in different telecom circles in a phased manner as per TRAI’s order. Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited has currently started testing the CNAP service in collaboration with private telecom operators. An executive in this sector has claimed that BSNL has started testing this service in each sector in a phased manner with the help of private telecom companies. The service will be rolled out across India in the next 3 to 4 months after the completion of this trial. This solution is developed by C-dot for CNAP for BSNL. (Photo Courtesy – Pinterest)
CNAP i.e. Caller Name Presentation Service shows the name of the caller in the incoming call to the phone. While purchasing a SIM, the name entered by the caller in the Customer Acquisition Form is displayed on the user’s screen. With the help of this service, the name of any unknown caller appears on the user’s screen. This can protect users from scam and fraud calls. Earlier, telecom operators had opposed the launch of CNAP service and said that this service may affect the privacy of users. However, this service is being introduced later as per TRAI’s recommendation.
