Am sharing this post from my personal experience and how I have received free Earphones from boAt company. You may consider this as a marketing , but has come from the satisfaction of a customer and which is a good sign for a company like boAt . This company is the No.1 in fashionable consumer electronics in the country. They started the business in the year 2016 and have their presence across all eCommerce sites in India. Let me explain my case and how it was completely fruitful

                             

•  I was on a deputation to Gurgaon last  July , in a hurry I forgot to carry my headphones. So, for time being i have purchased a boAt product from Amazon
• I have used it for almost 9-10 months and all of a sudden one side was not working
• I was unaware of what to do , so I've purchased another boAt product from Amazon
• Later , after few days got to know that there is a 1 year hastle less warranty provided by the boAt  company.
• I logged onto their website and provided the necessary details (uploaded receipt of the purchase from Amazon)
• Returned the product to boAt and received a new product as replacement for FREE

So am quite happy with the choice that I made for the purchase from boAt

2 Easy ways to send messages on WhatsApp without saving to Contacts

Hello All,

Here's how to send WhatsApp messages without saving the contact number itself 

1.You can start a chat with any number by opening Chrome or Firefox or the Samsung browser, and going to the web address https://wa.me/phonenumber. Replace the last part with the full number, with the country and region code, but without any + or - or () or 00.

So for example, if you want to chat with the number +91 9848012345 in India, you would go to the URL: https://wa.me/919848012345. Type it in the browser and you'll get the web page below with a big green Message icon. Tapping on it opens a conversation with that phone number in WhatsApp (if the number is registered on the service, obviously).

2. Download the below apps from Playstore. They are compact without any ads and do not require any permissions

a. Click to Chat

b. Easy Message

How To Link Mobile Number With Aadhaar Card using a Single Call

The UIDAI has issued directives for generating OTP either through the service provider's website or through the Interactive Voice Response (IVR) services to facilitate the Aadhaar linking with mobile phone number.

Users on certain telecom networks can now avail the interactive voice response (IVR) facility for linking their mobile numbers and Aadhaar numbers. 

Some operators are now allowing their subscribers to use this service by dialling a central helpline number. This is will save them the effort to visit offline stores for linking the two numbers.

                                   

Here's how the IVRS-based Aadhaar authentication through helpline 14546 works:

• Once you call the toll-free helpline 14546, the IVR system asks you whether you are an Indian citizen or an NRI. 

• The caller is to provide response 1 in case of Indian citizen.

• The caller is then asked to enter his or her 12-digit Aadhaar number.

• The IVRS then repeats the number entered and asks the caller to confirm by pressing response 1.

• After this step, an OTP or One-Time PIN is sent to the registered mobile number.

• The IVR system asks the caller to give consent to the telecom operator to pick his or her name, photo and date of birth from the UIDAI database.

• The caller is asked to enter the OTP in the next step.

• The caller is asked to press 1 to complete the Aadhaar-mobile number re-verification process.

NRIs/OCIs are not eligible to enroll for Aadhaar and hence fully exempted from any Aadhaar verification of bank accounts/mobile SIM or other services, the UIDAI has said.

How to remove your cell number from TrueCaller

Well, most of us might use TrueCaller app to find out the unknown number you receive to your cell phone. It crowd sources contact details from all its users' address books and by this your number might be on TrueCaller's Database. 

Not everyone knows this, but for some fixed-line phones,Truecaller even lists the address of the landline. This doesn't mean much when telemarketers or spammers call from an office address, but ideally you wouldn't want strangers to know your home address just because you called them from your landline. 


Here's how to remove your number from the TrueCaller's Database,

Watch out our video:

Once you have deactivated your Truecaller account, you can proceed to removing your number from the service. Here's how.

How to remove your number from Truecaller

1. Go to the Truecaller unlist page.
2. Enter your phone number with the correct country code. For example: +911140404040 or+919999999999.
3. Tick one of the reasons for unlisting, or if you wish, type your reasons for removal in the Other form.
4. Key in the verification captcha.
5. Click Unlist.

Truecaller claims that it removes these numbers up to 24 hours after receiving an unlist request. This doesn't always mean that your number will stay off the service forever. We'd removed our mobile number around a year ago but it started appearing again on the service a few days ago even though we've never used Truecaller. Your best bet is to keep checking with Truecaller users whether they see your contact details. If they don't, you're good to go. If not, you can always ask them to unlist your number.
