Relief from spam messages: Telecom operators have started adding new suffixes (letters) to the SMS header, which will help in understanding the identity of the sender and the nature of the message. The Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) gave this information on Tuesday. COAI includes major telecom operators like Reliance Jio, Airtel and Vodafone Idea.
It has now become simpler for cellular users to determine spam and genuine SMS. Telecom companies have begun attaching new suffixes (letters) to the SMS header, which will aid in knowing the sender's identity and the content of the message. Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) provided this information on Tuesday. COAI has large telecom operators such as Reliance Jio, Airtel, and Vodafone Idea.
COAI Director General SP Kochhar said that all telecom service providers have implemented the suffix system for promotional (‘P’), service-related (‘S’), transactional (‘T’), and government (‘G’) messages. This step has been taken under the Telecom Commercial Communication Customer Preference Regulation (TCCCPR) amended on 12 February 2025.
Kochhar said, "This has strengthened transparency and consumer protection. Customers can now know at a glance which message is promotional, which is service-related, and which is transactional or government. This will greatly reduce spam and also prevent fraud."
