Features & Capabilities

Sanchar Saathi is a citizen-centric initiative by the Department of Telecommunications, Government of India, designed to empower mobile subscribers and enhance their security. The app offers multiple facilities including Chakshu to report suspected fraud communications via calls, SMS, or WhatsApp, blocking and tracing lost or stolen mobile devices across all telecom operators, and verifying the genuineness of mobile handsets using the IMEI number.

Users can also check the number of mobile connections registered in their name, report unauthorized connections, and notify about suspicious international calls originating from Indian numbers. The app simplifies reporting by integrating call and SMS logs, allowing easy selection and auto-population of details. Sanchar Saathi requires minimal permissions including call/sms logs, camera for IMEI scanning, and file uploads to facilitate these security features, making it a comprehensive tool for mobile safety and fraud prevention in India.

User Reviews

Users praise Sanchar Saathi for strong security features, visibility over registered connections, and a user-friendly interface backed by government credibility. However, recurrent crashes and onboarding/registration failures hurt reliability. Feature gaps (caller ID like Truecaller, email reporting) and some international-number usability issues are commonly requested. Overall, a valuable safety tool with substantial room for stability improvements and feature expansion.

Pros

Security-centric features such as tracking lost/stolen phones, blocking unauthorized SIMs, and reporting fraud empower users to protect their mobile numbers.
You can view and monitor all SIM connections registered to your name, giving you direct visibility and control over your mobile identity.
The app is designed with a user-friendly interface and easy onboarding, including straightforward registration.
It's a government-backed initiative aimed at enhancing mobile safety and reducing telecom fraud, which adds credibility and trust.

Cons

Frequent crashes and stability issues during usage, including image-upload crashes and overall app instability during registration.
Registration and onboarding problems persist for some users, with SMS verification failures or repeated inability to register and log in.
Notable feature gaps such as absence of a Truecaller-like caller ID and missing options (e.g., email reporting) that users want.
Some usability quirks remain, such as confusing handling of international numbers (country code selection) for reporting.

Recent reviews

I was able to register a couple of fraud calls but after that Sanchar Saathi App has stopped working. Since yesterday I have been trying to register a fraudulent call but the app does not accept the callers phone number and gives an error message.
