For children, MTS provides a special modification of the previous service. Essentially, it combines the capabilities of parental controls, call blocking and SMS antispam.

If the key feature of the blacklist is the ability to independently specify unwanted numbers, then in the case of “Blocking spam calls” you don’t need to configure anything, but you also can’t make manual changes to the service’s algorithms. All incoming calls are checked in real time against the spam database, which is formed by MTS.

MTS app Who's calling

MTS Who's Calling is, in fact, another type of caller ID. But if a standard Caller ID recognizes only those numbers that the user has entered in the phone book, then this application is checked against the database of thousands of organizations throughout Russia. If a spammer calls, the application will report this, and sometimes it will be clear what kind of services they are going to impose on you. If an organization calls that is not detected in spam, you will be able to see its name if information about the number is in the database. Read more here.

Did you receive a call from an unwanted subscriber? Add it to the “black list” so that in the future the spammer will not be able to call or send a message to your number. At the same time, you can configure the blocking quite flexibly.

During this year, the company’s analysts recorded 26 billion spam calls, which is 18% more than in 2021. Their number has especially increased in Russia - this year the country rose to ninth place in the ranking of leaders in the number of advertising calls, while in 2021 it was in 17th place.

Where does advertising come from in the form of SMS and calls to MTS?

Subscribers of the provider often receive informational messages of an advertising nature. Their arrival at the number can come from two sources:

• Newsletter from the telecom operator MTS.
• Third-party organizations, usually partner companies of the provider.

The first set of alerts that comes from the operator is content coming from the day of connection. It can carry both informative and annoying advertising spam. These SMS are sent to the number free of charge, i.e. nothing is debited from your account for them.

Receiving advertising from third-party companies happens when you connect paid content, and these can also be offers from companies in which you yourself left your number when registering and did not immediately refuse mailings.

Note! Depending on the origin of advertising SMS, various methods are used to disable them.

There are a lot of incomprehensible moments in this story. For example, the client who filed the lawsuit, according to the company, also sent screenshots without a check mark. History teaches that companies can be confidently threatened with a lawsuit and a complaint to the FAS. They are unlikely to take risks and remove you from the base. » src=»https://static.life.ru/posts/2021/12/1259524/219a098638da4a1d2763484eb5d4a28b.jpg» loading=»lazy» style=»width:100%;height:100%;object-fit:cover" />

– a simple way to protect yourself from unwanted contacts. Phones marked by users as suspicious are blocked by the operator at the network level. MTS regularly updates its existing database, adding numbers of scammers and spam distributors to the list.

The main disadvantage of “Blocking spam calls” is that this option is not available on several MTS tariff plans:

How to remove spam from VKontakte?

Social networks have long been a tasty morsel for all spam distributors. A huge number of users, views and a fairly free dissemination of information are ideal conditions for various advertisements. If you are experiencing problems and do not know how to remove VKontakte spam, then there is a fairly simple application that is guaranteed to eliminate all unwanted elements.

The main way to eliminate any kind of advertising is a browser plugin called AdBlockPlus. It does not require configuration, although if the need arises, you can configure it to work as you please. The application is the main answer to the question of how to remove spam ads from your browser.

But what if this plugin does not remove certain types of spam advertising? In this case, we are talking about a more aggressive form of distribution. As a rule, such advertising automatically “fits” itself into the list of plugins, so it can only be removed through the browser settings. The first thing you need to do is find a special section in the browser options, which will contain the entire list of plugins used. Turn off everything unnecessary and what you don't use. Don't be afraid to go overboard, in fact only a small number of plugins are necessary for constant use, so you can safely get rid of everything else. The combination of plugin settings and the AdblockPlus application will eliminate 95% of all spam advertising. The only exceptions are the most aggressive forms of distribution, which only an updated antivirus can cope with.

How to remove spam ads from browsers?

Despite the fact that today there are a large number of browsers, the elimination of spam in most of them is of a similar nature. If you are interested in how to remove spam from your browser and where to find the necessary settings, then you need to consider each of them separately.

• How to remove spam in the Chrome browser
  . The main way to eliminate spam from this browser is the AdBlockPlus application. It works with various browsers and allows you to combat advertising of any kind as effectively as possible.
• How to remove spam in Opera
  . The method for this browser is exactly the same as for the others. The only difference is that if you “caught” such an advertisement, you will have to look in the root directory of the browser for a file called “lib.dll” and delete it. This will reset the settings and restore the functionality of the browser.
• How to remove spam from the Yandex browser
  . For Yandex browser, the standard method of eliminating advertising using AdBlockPlus is suitable. At the same time, there is a special AdGuard extension for this browser, which allows you to additionally protect the user from advertising, so it must be used together with the main plugin.

Despite the fact that most methods for eliminating advertising are practically the same for each browser, it is worth understanding that the additional use of an antivirus with updated databases will ensure maximum protection for your PC.

Why do you need protection against spam calls?

Various callers do not allow everyone who has ever accidentally “lit up” their own phone to live in peace.

Contact information is often used for fraudulent purposes. Each time their methods become more and more sophisticated.

Thus, recently scammers called back citizens from spoofed numbers on behalf of Russian banking institutions. Now, as banking experts note, we can expect a sharp increase in cases of such fraud, since scammers are able to use special artificial intelligence technology, using other people’s voices when calling.

Why is it not recommended to call back unknown callers? The safest option is to have a robo call to check if your registered number is active. But you won’t achieve anything useful from such a conversation, but all the spammers will know that you are not averse to talking with them.

Often, when calling back, users have to communicate with call center operators who ask a lot of questions and deliberately stall for time during the conversation. Meanwhile, the conversation in such a case is carried out for a fee, and as a result, significant amounts are deducted from you. For this reason, blocking spam calls for free will not be superfluous.
