If you are Indian, its so much easier to report spam (but of course not easy enough! TRAI, while seems to have good intentions here, is pretty much a luddite where tech & UX are concerned).
The app rating should have given you a clue that the app is quite a crapfest, but it is still better than the steps folks in US have to wade through. it takes a couple of clicks and a short few typed words to raise the complaint.
Another way is to simply send a sms to 1909 as
> “<Content of UCC, including Referred Telephone Number (RTN) if any>,
<header/telephone number from which UCC has originated>, <dd/mm/yy, hh:mm>”
the schema is different for all ISPs, but in general none seems to adhere strictly to the schema as long as the datetime, phone number and comma delimiters are correct.
ISPs are required by law to folloup on these and once you have sent the sms, you will get update smses for your complaint.
I usually just use the DnD app and when that isn't working, I send the sms. the schema i can get from my sms history and just change the caller id, phone and date. And in return I get the satisfaction of getting the update about the phone number of the violater being barred or limited to 20 calls in a month.
make sure your number is register in DnD. Use the official DnD app to register a compliant https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=trai.gov.in.dn...
