Virtual telecom operator T-Mobile has launched a free service called "Spam Protection" - smart blocking of unwanted calls. With its help, the subscriber can choose which categories of calls he would like to receive and which to block: advertising, spam, calls from scammers, banks, insurance and microfinance organizations, or even from delivery, marketplaces, taxis, etc. Such calls will not just be blocked, but redirected to the telephone secretary. So the subscriber will be able to track missed dialogues if desired.
by category. Andrey bangladesh whatsapp number databa se Biychuk, Director of the "Zashchitnik" product at Mobile TeleSystems (MTS), spoke about this and other service functions: "The "Zashchitnik" service offers such functions as a caller ID, blocking spam calls from unknown numbers, searching for data leaks, decoding a dialogue with a spammer, and warning about a conversation with a potential fraudster in real time. Previously, we had a service for selecting call categories that could be blocked, but it turned out to be unclaimed - less than 1% of service users used it."
In 2022, MegaFon was the first telecom operator to launch Eva, a voice assistant with a spam call blocking function. If desired, our clients can independently select the categories of calls they would not like to receive: from banks, social surveys, real estate, etc. Eva will take on such calls. Our virtual assistant will determine the caller's category for free and block them if necessary, answer the call for the subscriber if they are busy, and also protect them from online subscriptions," said a representative of the press service of PJSC MegaFon.
As stated in the T-Mobile announcement, "Spam Protection" is the first service on the market that blocks calls from unknown numbers that are not in the phone book, but at the same time allows critical calls to the subscriber. So, if a T-Mobile subscriber calls emergency services, for example, 112 or an ambulance, then "Spam Protection" is disabled for an hour so that a return call can be received from the services. Thus, the service will help not to miss an important call from an unknown number in unforeseen situations.
