CNAP trials begin: Telcos test caller ID feature to curb scams; pan-India rollout likely by April

Telecom operators are testing a new Calling Name Presentation (CNAP) service in Haryana and Himachal Pradesh, allowing mobile users to see the registered names of unknown callers. This initiative, directed by the Department of Telecommunications, aims to combat spam and scam calls by displaying caller identities, with a nationwide rollout anticipated by March-April next year.
