End the harassed life.
If you are tired of screaming and harassing calls, and it happens to be an iPhone or a Chinese mobile user, there are two ways to do it now.
The recently launched iOS 13 has a new feature that helps users fight against harassing calls called “Silence Unknown Callers.” This switch can be found under the “Settings” – “Phone” entry on the iPhone. According to Apple’s official comment on this feature, when this feature is turned on, unknown number calls will be muted, transferred to voicemail, and displayed in the Recent Calls list. However, contacts in the contacts, recent outgoing calls, and Siri recommendations will still ring when they call.
Although users in mainland China generally do not have voicemail, this does not affect the use of this feature. 36 After testing, it was found that after the Chinese user turned on this function, if an unknown call was made, the caller would be told that “the number dialed is in the call”. On the user’s side, unknown calls will not ring, and will only be displayed as “missed”.
It’s important to note that if you turn this feature on, it will be blocked not only for calls that are suspected of harassing calls, but for all those who are not in your address book and who have not recently spoken to you. In other words, you will not receive calls from the takeaway brother, the drip driver, the new colleague, and all the old friends who have not changed the number.
The principle of this function is very simple. The iPhone only needs to judge whether it rings according to the address book of this machine. It does not need Apple to cooperate with the telecom operator. At the same time, it is precisely because of this, its judgment on “unknown calls” is relatively simple and rude. If you are not deciding to close, it is advisable to be careful to turn this feature on.
Telecom operators have an advantage in this regard, because they can more accurately determine which segments are the common number of harassing calls, and can also block all incoming calls of a certain segment according to user needs.
This week, China Mobile’s anti-harassment call function was officially launched to users nationwide. All China Mobile VoLTE users only need to send KTFSR to 10086 to open, no need to run errands, no need to download APP, no need to pay. If you are not a VoLTE user, just Send SMS KTVOLTE to 10086 is free to open.
If you want to block a certain number of segments more accurately, you need toreview the China Mobile High Frequency Harassment Phone Protection Public Number and turn on more feature settings. Such as blacklist settings, whitelist settings, number segment interception settings, interception notification options, and so on.
In March of this year, China Mobile has taken the lead in anti-harassment functions in 11 provinces and cities such as Guangdong, Jiangsu, Beijing, Shanghai, Shandong and Sichuan. The opening method is consistent with the above. After opening this function in Shanghai, the author found that the number of harassing calls has decreased significantly in recent months, and does not affect the normal strange incoming call access.
