Hi guys,

Have you come across any useful app that reports the SMS or call to trai if it's spammy in nature in a single click?

Earlier I was using India Against Spam-AwardWinner - Android Apps on Google Play this app and used to work great but for past 2 years, it has not been updated. Moreover, telecom operators mischievously change the SMS complaint pattern very frequently so that users are unable to report these spam msgs with ease. Even TRAI's own app is not able to keep pace with changes from operators.

They change the format regularly so that they dont have to take any action, since all these spammers add to their revenue

they add two letter words as a prefix in spam messages so if i filter anything that starts with VD, then the same spammer would target me in different prefix, isnt it?

Bro the first two characters denote the circle and the operator. Like VD means Vodafone Delhi. So they are buying the bulk sms thru Vodafone Delhi. Stammers use online services and they have multiple operators like banks do

Problem is all the people hate these spam msgs but only very few have DND activated. Even after DND is active, handful of people go ahead and complain about these spam msgs because of the lengthy and cumbersome process.
