New Delhi: The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has introduced revamped versions of its flagship mobile applications – the TRAI DND App and the MySpeed App – aimed at empowering telecom users to curb spam, monitor network performance, and improve overall service quality.
The launch of these applications marks a strategic regulatory step to make consumer reporting easier and network testing more transparent, especially in a rapidly evolving digital connectivity ecosystem.

TRAI’s revamped mobile apps aim to strengthen user participation and transparency in resolving these issues.
