HuffPost UK • • technology
Key Points:
- iPhone users can reduce spam calls by enabling "Call Screening," which either asks unknown callers to state their reason for calling or silences calls from unsaved numbers, sending them directly to voicemail.
- The "Call Filtering" feature on iPhones allows users to move missed calls and voicemails from unknown or suspected spam numbers to separate lists, helping manage unwanted calls more efficiently.
- All phone users in the UK can register with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) to opt out of unsolicited sales and marketing calls, significantly reducing telemarketing interruptions.
- Persistent unwanted calls can be reported to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), which has the authority to fine companies violating telemarketing rules, especially those using recorded messages.
- These combined measures offer practical steps for individuals to regain control over their phone calls and minimize disruptions caused by spam and telemarketing.
