We’re all very well familiar with DND (Do Not Disturb) registry to avoid unwanted calls and messages on our mobiles. In every country, the telecom authority has provided this facility, so that users can avoid themselves from getting into pranks or scams circulated in their region. Well, I always have DND activated on my mobile number, but still there are some messages which I couldn’t resist from reaching my cell. These messages are mostly the promotional messages which you get still if you have DND activated on your number.

In Windows Phone 8.1, we have a new feature to suppress the notifications raised by these unwanted promotional messages. This is the “mute conversation” feature, that means, if you mute a thread, you’ll be no longer notified when new messages arrives in that thread.

    Hello Mr Kapil I am from Delhi.Though it is a simple issue but I am little confused about how to use my Nokia lumia 535 handset while I am on international roaming. How to configure my handset when I reach abroad after paying for an international roaming pack from my service provider( Airtel) ? What all do I need to do to be able to use my roaming pack which includes data, free calls, SMS etc? Will be grateful if you kindly enlighten me.
    Regards and thanks
