Activating do not disturb (DND) is one of the first things everyone should do after getting a new SIM card in India. Pesky telemarketing companies start spamming you with unsolicited phone calls and text messages the moment you get a new SIM card. Activating DND is one way to guard against that. You can easily activate DND on Jio, just as you would on any other telecom operator in India. Remember that activating DND alone does not guarantee freedom from spam callers or text messages in India, but it blocks a fair few of them. Here’s how to activate DND on Jio.

A neat method to activate DND on Jio is via the company’s app. Follow these steps.

How to activate DND on Jio via SMS or call
