Sanchar Saathi Reaches 30 Crore Visits, Recovers 14 Lakh Phones

Sanchar Saathi is a website that helps people deal with mobile phone problems and scams.

It has received more than 30 crore visits since it began in May 2023.

People can use it to report suspicious calls and messages, check mobile connections registered in their name, and block missing phones.

Its Chakshu service collects reports about possible scams.

The ministry says reports have led authorities to take action in many cases and disconnect more than 50 lakh mobile connections.

The portal has helped block over 60 lakh lost or stolen phones.

More than 14 lakh of those phones have been recovered.

Information from people’s reports is also shared with organisations that work to detect fraud.
