India Mandates Caller Names on Nov 1, 2026
3 min read
India's Department of Telecommunications mandates caller name identification for mobile users starting November 1, 2026. The rule requires telecom operators to display names from their databases on 4G and 5G networks by default, replacing reliance on saved contacts. This decision follows a 2024 TRAI recommendation and shifts the service from opt-in to mandatory, though 2G, 3G, and landlines remain separate.
