Deccan ChronicleNew Delhi: Telecom operator Bharti Airtel on Monday said that its network flagged a staggering 8 billion spam calls and called out 0.8 billion spam SMSes within two and a half months of the launch of its spam-fighting AI-powered solution. Delhi had the dubious distinction of accounting for a maximum number of the spam calls received and originated, the company said in a statement. Customers in Delhi have received the maximum number of spam calls, followed by customers in Andhra Pradesh and Western Uttar Pradesh,” the company said. “Customers in the age bracket of 36-60 have received 48 per cent of all spam calls, while those in the 26-35 age bracket have been the second-most targeted, accounting for 26 per cent of spam calls,” the company said, adding that just about 8 per cent of the spam calls have landed in the handsets of senior citizens.
