ii) Partial Blocked Category
If you wish you get commercial communications by SMS of your preferred category and block rest of all, subscribed to partial blocked category. Note that, in this category all commercial voice calls will be blocked and only messages will be delivered.
This will allow you to get movie updates, latest deals in the market, SMS from online portals, or any particular interested commercial communication.

  1. Sir ,This vivek & I am using BSNL prepaid no & I have deregistor my no before 20days but steel my status is (start 0).Aanybody help me for this.

  2. The service Do Not Disturb/Do Not call, once activated on the request of the customer should not be deactivated by the BSNL after certain period against the will of the customer. It should continue untill the customer request for deactivation.

    • Hello Shiva,

      AS far as we have the information, once NCPR (old DND)is activated on any number the telecom operator (BSNL or any) will not deactivated DND unless customer gives the request.

      • i have also the same experience. 2 years back i sent request and activated dnd service. but now im receiving unwanted messages and get charged also. when i complained the cust. care they asked my activation code. unfortunately i lost the code. this is not hopeful.

  3. Hi,
    I am Manoj. Trying to activate NCPR Option no.1 (Banking – Insurance – Financial Products – Credit Cards) to get SMS from banks and credit cards, but till today I have not any confirmation form your end.

      • But understand this, activating complete NCPR with option 0 ( old DND ) will not stop from banks and credits cards sending you SMS like alerts, transaction details if you are their customer.
        NCPR option 1 allows telemarketing and sales people to call or SMS you about bank products, credit cards and insurance products to sell you, even if you are not their customer.
        Now you choose between.

      • Hi,
        Thanks for your quick response. My mobile no. is 9424925515. I have already sent sms to 1909 and called them too. I want to get activated NCPR-1.
        Thanks.

  5. How to apply for do not disturb serices for BSNL landline. I tried calling 1909 but i get the response..” Please check the number you have dialled”..this request is for landline number

    • Hello Ashish,

      Send SMS START 1 to 1909 from your BSNL mobile number to exclude banking SMS / calls.
      But, understand that if you want to receive SMS & calls from your Bank like Withdrawal alert, card purchase alert etc., you don’t need to exclude Banking since they are solicited communication.
      By excluding banking from DND, you will get calls & SMS from tele-callers and promotional sms from marketing people.
      If you want to block all unwanted calls & SMS send SMS START 0 to 1909, still you will receive all SMS & calls from your bank not from tele marketing people.

I have 4-5 connections of BSNL, and now we are thinking to stop using it. I have to search site to contact bsnl customer care! why the hell they give 1503 service? to listen to schemes of bsnl service?

  24. when i dial 1909 it says press * to continue to speak to customer care executive and in few seconds its busy/disconnect tome every time. What to do now ?

    Actually it should be by default all should be deactivated and only persons wanting marketing calls should dial and get it enabled

  25. I am trying to register DND on our BSNL landline by calling 1909 but i am not getting connected at all, it starts with prerecorded message and says to connect to the executive but after few ringing it gets disconnected.

  27. Hi, I wish to know what is the procedure if u want to block a personal number, say, a person whos harassing you constantly via SMS or telephonic calls??? is there any way to add that number to the blocked list just by sending SMS or a request in the toll free, without going through the police station and registering a complaint ?? Kindly reply… very urgent help needed

    • Hello Karthik,

      With all the new smart-phone’s you will be able to block specific mobile numbers.
      Try searching your AppStore / Google Play / BB World for call blocking apps.

      • I have an iphone… the apps that block numbers or mark them as spam(eg. True Caller) do NOT block them completely…. As in when the person calls me he shud either get the “number does not exist” or sum other tone. But instead the phone rings with a notification on the top saying that this number is blocked, but do you wanna answer it anywayz?? … dats not wat i want… i dont want the phone to alert me at all or even let the caller listen to the ring tone…. Plz tell me a way to do this or if not, then a suitable FREE app for the iphone (non-jailbroken device)..

        Thank you.

  28. Hi, on 3rd of this month, i had send START 0 to 1909 to activate DND on my mobile, but till now i am still getting lots of unwanted sms’s. my mobile no. is 9401423808. anything else i need to do

  29. mobile no :- 9436717524
    i sent the sms ” START 0 ” on 1909 but didn’t get the confirmation …what to do ????

  30. Why NCPR (DND) is not available for land line numbers? I want to register my land line no. 02512871304 for DND.

  31. I’m using 9440407249 since 6 years. For the last one and half a year one with BT – TRIOTK and 540000010 are causing a lot of loss to me. When ever I recharged my account with 50/- and +, these fellows are thefting my balance as I am a subscriber to their services which infact I am not. This BT B*****D sending me some vulgar jokes which means nothing. And another surprising thing I found is that “You are charged Rs.5 for calling 9440407249″ message appears all of a sudden on my mobile. After pressing any key it disappears. I complained in Exchange. But no use. Is there any better idea… sir?

  32. That’s totally a lie.
    I have complaint like a million times now, neither i got the message nor it got activated.
    Tired of these commercial messages.
    My whole inbox consists of these SMSs.
