TRAI and DoT Approve Implementation of Feature to Display Caller Names During Incoming Calls
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) on Monday approved a proposal by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), which mandates the name of the caller to be displayed as the default on the receiver’s phone. The feature, called Calling Name Presentation (CNAP), will leverage the caller’s information registered after verifying their identity during the SIM registration process. It will be a supplementary service offered in association with a basic telecom service.
