Update news spam call
Under the coordination of VTA, the three largest mobile network operators are working togetjer to implement a plan on managing subscribers’ information, aiming to stop the existence of junk simcards and ready-activated simcards.
As many as 17,290 subscribers sending spam calls were handled in December 2020, according to the Authority of Telecommunications (AoT) under the Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC).
Millions of fake calls and tens of thousand of subscribers in the last five months were handled, but network operators do not appear to be sufficiently determined to fight against spam calls.
Mobile network operators have blocked the outgoing traffic of 34,700 subscribers who made spam calls and prevented 9 million fake calls in the last three months, according to the Telecommunications Authority.
The Ministry of Information and Communications has (MIC) warned that it has asked the Prime Minister to clearly define the responsibilities of the heads of mobile network operators that allow ‘trash’ SIMs to circulate in the market.
Businesses in the fields of real estate, insurance and education will bear the biggest influences from the newly released decree on preventing spam messages and calls.
