UIDAI row: Telcos not responsible for default saving of helpline number, says COAI
The telecom industry has denied any role in the strange incident in which an old toll-free helpline number of UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India) got automatically stored on a large number of Android powered smartphones.
UIDAI said that the toll-free number --1800-300-1947 -- being reported to have been saved in the contact list of Android phones was outdated and invalid. Image source: Reuters
