The end of annoying scam text messages with this one telco
From today, new technology will be introduced to the Telstra communications network that will automatically block spam text messages.
Reports of malicious text messages have increased from 50 in 2020 to over 11,000 in 2021 on Android devices.
“Customers might be concerned we’re going to block legitimate SMSs, but we obviously put in place a lot of protocols and procedures to make sure we don’t do that,” Telstra CEO and managing director Andy Penn told news.com.au.
I personally receive around 2-3 scam text messages per week and i'm hoping this new update will reduce this number to zero. Now, if they can work on all the scam phone calls we have been receiving i'd be laughing!
Would you consider moving to Telstra if this technology update is proven successful in blocking spam and scam text messages?
If only they could get rid of the Political,Charity and Survey Scams
but unfortunately Telstra or any other provider can legally do that.
