Speaking to Zee Media, retired senior police officer and crime investigation expert Reddanna, Rtd. ACP, Hyderabad City Police, said: “Before introducing it to the public, the government conducts a detailed study. The Sanchar Saathi app is mainly designed to enhance telecom security and prevent fraud. It helps users block lost or stolen phones, report suspicious calls and SMS, check how many SIM cards are registered in their name, and verify a phone’s authenticity using its IMEI number before purchase.”
