Its time Telecom Operators in India get ready to serve their users even better than before because any negligence, unresolved issues, and unheard complaints can now be sent to TRAI directly using the Telecom Consumer Complaints Monitoring System (TCCMS) launched recently. In this post, we will share how you can use the portal to complain against mobile telecom operators.
A few months back, TRAI did warn all the Telecoms to treat the consumers nicely and asked them to let consumer talk directly to the human operator without wasting much time into menus and they had also been working hard to track lost stolen mobile using IMEI number which needs all the operators to help a consumer out.
