That's why DOT took this step
With the increase in the use of Internet and smartphones, cases of cyber fraud have also increased rapidly in recent times. Cyber criminals are adopting new methods to cheat people. Recently, cases of digital arrest have come to light rapidly. To stop cyber crimes, concrete steps are being taken continuously from the telecom companies to the government. Under this effort, a new caller tune has now been introduced for the users.
The Telecom Department of the Central Government has asked telecom companies Jio, Airtel, Vi and BSNL to run cyber crime awareness caller tune for their customers. The department has asked telecom companies to run this caller tune 8-10 times a day. This is the reason why sometimes you hear it and sometimes not.
Caller tune will change every week
In the instructions given to the telecom companies, it has been said that this caller tune will be made available by the Indian Cyber Crime Co-ordination Centre. This order has been issued by the department just a few days ago. Caller tune to cyber crime will be provided to telecom companies every week. Meaning you will hear a new caller tune every week.
