QUOTE(nexona88 @ May 24 2017, 03:15 PM) oh like that.. no wonder too much spam from Telco C line As for telco M is more strict enforcement because they have BMG now in place since the last time MPG was overwhelming. During MPG time, esms was not as strong because all running into 5 same routes under 2 platforms and was managed by a 3rd party sms company approved under Telco M as their partner. When BMG comes into place, the 3rd party company contract was not been renewed. Esms was being implemented & improvise to 1 master primary platform that still using like previous routes but tighten security.

Sorry to bring up old topic.
The SMS gateway filtration is filtering SMS from 3 series (3xxxx) and 6 series (6xxxx) and any usual 5 digit number.
As for those that has been reported it seems to be from a normal line blasting so is very unlikely those are passing through PCM or BMG at all.

QUOTE(Chrono-Trigger @ Feb 28 2018, 11:02 AM) Technically no. If SMS were to blast using non-compliant number (meaning not 3xxxx and not 6xxxx), this means that the message has never went into PCM / BMG. Hence is a violation of usage under MCMC (if memory serves me right). Any sms went through PCM / BMG will be regulated. Tips : Do note that SMS from 3XXXX and 6XXXX you can opt to OUT (opt not to receive any SMSes). You may report this to MCMC / find out which telco is the number is from and report to the telco as spammer. This post has been edited by hades4eve: Mar 5 2018, 02:34 PM

It take over Dialler and sms most likely for easier on blocking sms and call, many phone customisation and android limit permission/not user friendly to allow sms or phone permissions. Which also allow it to become top app to identify 99% of the spam sms and call. then to serve you ads if you not subscribe to premium adfree subsription. And still cannot find any other app that beat the sms and phone spam block, and the identification of unknown new phone number.

Took me less than a month to get rid of it. Now if I want to know an unknown number, I just Google it, that's all. If I don't like a number, I just block it.

As long as did not charge you RM2 or RM3 per sms is ok already. Just make a few button Options > Delete > YES.

For my Android, there's a setting in the stock Message app, which is to filter the keywords.
Then now they are spamming via Whatsapp. Kept reporting spam numbers and I don't think Whatsapp will do any actions against these numbers.

I just copy these numbers and register them on those spamming website... Let spammer vs spammer... Sooner or later, these spam numbers will get charged by those website spammer... In the end, they will terminate the number and create another account and spam us again... So, we repeat the cycle...

Any updates for this tho? Been getting a lot of spam casino SMS's that looks like they are from Chinese mainland casino companies.. Must have been one that's offshore..
I don't see the point of blocking since they can just make new number and do the same thing again.
