How To Stop Coronavirus Caller Tune? Simple Trick To Bypass Coughing Sound Caller Tune

Amidst the rapid spread of coronavirus across the world and many misinformation related to it, people are coming up with raising awareness of the COVID-19. The telecom operators Jio, Airtel, BSNL and Vodafone came up with a pre-call announcement that will spread awareness and preventive tips to stay protected.

The telcos have set coughing sounds as the default caller tune in order to educate people about the deadly virus outbreak. This sound followed by the message in English to educate people to stay protected replaces the default caller tune while calling dear ones. This is an awareness campaign initiative taken by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare of the Indian government.

However, the issue is that the announcement is quite long and can be an issue while you are calling someone in case of an emergency or any services such as 100, 110, etc. To your respite, there is a way to bypass this pre-call announcement on Airtel, Jio, and Vodafone.
