Highlights

  • TRAI urges citizens to report spam calls and SMS via the official DND App.
  • User complaints have led to the disconnection of over 21 lakh mobile numbers and nearly one lakh entities involved in spam and fraud.

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has issued a new public advisory urging mobile users to report unsolicited commercial communications (UCC) through the official TRAI DND App. The regulator stressed that simply blocking numbers on personal devices is ineffective, as it does not stop offenders from targeting others. The UCC could include spam calls and text messages. Here’s more on this.

Why Collective Reporting Will Work?

TRAI highlighted the significant results achieved through user participation over the past year. Based on complaints submitted through its reporting system, the authority has disconnected and blacklisted more than 21 lakh mobile numbers and nearly one lakh entities involved in sending spam and fraudulent messages. According to TRAI, this large-scale action shows that user reports play a critical role in tackling telecom fraud and misuse.

The authority explained that reporting spam via the DND app triggers an official process that allows TRAI and telecom operators to trace, verify, and permanently shut down the offending numbers. In contrast, blocking a contact on one’s device only prevents spam on that single phone, while the sender can continue targeting others.

The advisory called for vigilance, especially urging senior citizens, women and digitally inexperienced users to stay alert, spread awareness, and promptly report any suspicious communication they receive.

TRAI outlined clear recommendations for consumers to protect themselves and aid enforcement efforts:

  • Download the TRAI DND App – Only use the official app available on authorised app stores.
  • Report Instead of Only Blocking – Submit spam call or SMS reports through the app to help identify and disconnect fraudsters.
  • Do Not Share Personal Details – Avoid sharing banking or personal information in response to unsolicited communication.
  • Disconnect Suspicious Calls Immediately – Hang up if the call feels threatening or questionable.
  • Report Cyber FraudContact the National Cybercrime Helpline at 1930 or visit the official cybercrime portal for confirmed fraud.
  • Use the Chakshu Feature – Report attempted telecom-related fraud using the “Chakshu” option on the Sanchar Saathi portal.

TRAI reiterated its commitment to building a safe and reliable telecom environment. The regulator emphasised that strict enforcement, enhanced monitoring technologies, and proactive user participation through the DND app are key to stopping spam at its origin.

FAQs

Q1. How can citizens report spam calls and SMS effectively?

Answer. TRAI urges users to report unsolicited commercial communications through the official TRAI DND App, instead of just blocking numbers.

Answer. Over the past year, TRAI has disconnected more than 21 lakh mobile numbers and nearly one lakh entities involved in spam and fraud, thanks to collective reporting.

Q3. What precautions should mobile users take against spam and fraud?

Answer. TRAI advises users to avoid sharing personal details, disconnect suspicious calls immediately, use the Chakshu feature on the Sanchar Saathi portal, and report confirmed fraud to the National Cybercrime Helpline (1930).

Apple Cuts Sales Jobs as Company Restructures Enterprise and Government Operations

Highlights

  • Apple has cut dozens of sales roles across enterprise, education and government divisions.
  • Affected employees are given until January 20 to find new roles or accept severance.
  • Apple frames the move as streamlining operations, but reports suggest a shift toward third-party resellers.

Apple has reportedly eliminated dozens of roles across its sales division, affecting teams that handle enterprise, education, and government clients. The layoffs mark an unusual move for the company, surprising many employees who were informed as part of a broader restructuring of how Apple approaches institutional sales. According to reports, the shift may indicate that Apple is leaning more heavily on third-party resellers instead of handling large accounts directly.

Apple Layoffs

The company confirmed the restructuring to Bloomberg and revealed that it is implementing changes to “connect with even more customers.” The Cupertino Giant also noted that only a small number of roles” were impacted. Employees whose positions were cut will have until January 20 to secure another job within Apple or accept a severance package.

The most significant impact reportedly landed on Apple’s government sales division, particularly the team working with the US Defense Department and Justice Department. This group had already been facing challenges due to a 43-day government shutdown and budget cuts from the Department of Government Efficiency.

Additional layoffs affected account managers responsible for large enterprise clients as well as staff at Apple’s briefing centres. These are the facilities where the company showcases its hardware and software solutions to institutional buyers. Some of the employees laid off had been with the company for two to three decades.

The timing was especially unexpected, coming as Apple heads into what is expected to be a record-breaking quarter with December revenue projections approaching $140 billion.

Apple has publicly framed the job cuts as an effort to streamline operations and remove overlapping roles. However, employees who spoke to Bloomberg believe the underlying reason is a strategic move toward relying more on third-party channel partners.

Apple Still Hiring

Despite the layoffs, Apple maintains that it continues to hire and has encouraged affected workers to apply for open positions within the sales organisation. The latest cuts follow earlier reductions of around 20 roles in Apple’s sales teams in Australia and New Zealand just weeks ago. The wider sales division reports directly to CEO Tim Cook under the leadership of Vice President Mike Fenger.

The rare job reductions come roughly a year after Apple cut hundreds of roles following the cancellation of its self-driving car initiative and the shutdown of its in-house display development projects.

FAQs

Q1. Which teams were most affected by Apple’s recent sales layoffs?

Answer. The biggest impact was on Apple’s government sales division, particularly those working with the US Defense and Justice Departments, along with enterprise account managers and briefing centre staff.

Q2. What options were given to employees whose roles were eliminated?

Answer. Affected employees have until January 20 to secure another role within Apple or accept a severance package.

Q3. Why did Apple restructure its sales division?

Answer. Apple described the move as streamlining operations to “connect with even more customers,” while reports suggest it is a strategic shift toward relying more on third-party resellers.

Retailer Accidentally Sells ₹79,990 iPad Air for ₹1,500, Later Asks Buyers to Return It or Pay the Difference

0

Highlights

  • Italian retailer MediaWorld mistakenly sold the 13-inch iPad Air worth ₹79,990 for just ₹1,500 (€15) to loyalty program members due to a technical error.
  • The error went unnoticed for 11 days, during which many buyers had already received or collected their iPads.
  • MediaWorld asked customers to either pay the price difference or return the device for a refund plus a €20 voucher.

A technical glitch can sometimes create bizarre situations for online customers and retailers. Recently, Italian electronics retailer MediaWorld landed in an unusual controversy, thanks to a major pricing glitch. Here’s the full story.

iPad Airs for €15 (around ₹1,500) Only?

A glitch at the retailer’s end allowed members of its loyalty program to purchase the 13-inch Apple iPad Air for just €15 (around ₹1,500). This becomes amusing when you realise that the device normally costs around ₹79,990.

What’s more amusing is how the retailer detected the error only 11 days later. As reported by Wired, by the time the retailer realised, most customers had already received their online orders or collected the tablets from physical stores.

MediaWorld later contacted all affected customers to fix the situation. The company asked customers to either return the iPad or pay the remaining amount to match its actual promotional price. However, the company is now facing challenges retrieving the devices due to the absence of clear terms addressing pricing mistakes in the original purchase agreements.

In emails sent to buyers, the retailer explained that the listed price had been “incorrect” and offered two choices. Customers can either keep the product by paying the price difference or return it in exchange for a full refund of €15, along with a €20 (approx. ₹2,050) voucher as compensation.

What MediaWorld Said?

In a statement to Wired, a MediaWorld spokesperson described the situation as a “clearly identifiable technical error” caused by an unexpected glitch on its e-commerce platform. The incorrect price, they said, was clearly unrealistic and “economically unsustainable,” leaving the retailer no option but to take corrective action.

The spokesperson elaborated, “We confirm that, in a very short period of time, due to a clearly recognizable technical error caused by an extraordinary and unexpected glitch on our ecommerce platform, some products were mistakenly displayed at prices that, due to their clear and objective disconnect from the true market value and the correct promotional price, should never have been displayed. This was a manifest error, making it economically unsustainable and not representative of our commercial offering.”

They added that the retailer had to intervene based on legal principles meant to preserve contractual balance in case of such significant errors. MediaWorld emphasised that it tried to go beyond strict legal requirements by offering customer-friendly solutions.

The spokesperson further said, “By virtue of the provisions of the current regulations, we found it necessary to intervene, resorting to a legal principle aimed at preserving the contractual balance in the event of an error of this magnitude. Our approach was to prioritize the relationship with the customer and to offer solutions that went beyond the mere application of law. For this reason, we promptly contacted all affected buyers, proposing two alternatives.”

MediaWorld highlighted its intention to resolve the issue transparently and fairly. Customers can retain the device by paying the difference between the mistaken price and the correct promotional price. The retailer says it is also offering an additional discount on the revised amount. Otherwise, buyers can return the iPad free of charge, receive a full refund and get a MediaWorld shopping voucher for the inconvenience.

As the spokesperson stated, “We offer product retention: The customer has the option to keep the purchased item, paying the difference between the price paid and the correct promotional price. We have also offered a further discount on the amount to be paid. Or return the product: The customer can choose to return the item free of charge, receiving a full refund of the amount already paid. In this case too, we have offered a MediaWorld shopping voucher. We firmly believe that these proposals demonstrate our willingness to support customers and maintain transparency and fairness. We continue to work to improve our shopping experience and maximum protection for our consumers.”

FAQs

Q1. What caused the iPad Air to be sold for just ₹1,500?

Answer. A technical glitch on Italian retailer MediaWorld’s e-commerce platform mistakenly listed the 13-inch iPad Air at €15 (~₹1,500) instead of its actual price of around ₹79,990.

Q2. How did MediaWorld respond after discovering the error?

Answer. The retailer contacted affected customers 11 days later, asking them to either return the iPad or pay the price difference to match the correct promotional price.

Q3. What compensation did MediaWorld offer to customers who returned the product?

Answer. Buyers who chose to return the iPad received a full refund of €15 plus a €20 voucher (~₹2,050) as compensation for the inconvenience.
