How to stop spam messages (effective methods and skills to prevent spam messages)

With the popularity of mobile phones, the number of spam messages is increasing. These short messages will not only occupy the storage space of our mobile phones, but also affect our lives. How to effectively prevent spam messages? This article will introduce some methods and techniques to help you stop spam messages easily.

First, don't leave your mobile phone number at will.

When we fill in the forms of some websites or applications, we often need to fill in the mobile phone number. However, don't leave your mobile phone number at will, because these websites or applications may sell your mobile phone number to advertisers. So when we fill in the form, we can fill in a false mobile phone number to avoid receiving spam messages.

Second, don't reply to spam messages.

When we receive spam, don't reply to them. Because replying to spam messages will let the sender know that your mobile phone number is valid and will continue to send you spam messages. Therefore, we should delete spam messages directly.

Third, use SMS interception function.

Nowadays, mobile phones have SMS interception function, and we can use this function to intercept spam messages. The specific operation steps are as follows:

1. Open the SMS application of the mobile phone.

2. Click the "Settings" button in the upper right corner.

3. In the setting interface, find the "SMS Interception" option.

4. Click the "SMS Interception" option to enter the SMS Interception Settings interface.

5. In the SMS Interception Settings interface, we can set interception rules, such as intercepting all SMS messages with strange numbers.

Fourth, use third-party SMS filtering software.

In addition to the mobile phone's own SMS interception function, we can also use third-party SMS filtering software to intercept spam messages. These softwares can automatically block spam messages according to our settings. Commonly used short message filtering software includes "short message filtering box" and "short message housekeeper".

Verb (the abbreviation of verb) joins the "National Anti-Spam SMS Alliance"

The National Anti-Spam SMS Alliance is an anti-spam SMS organization jointly sponsored by China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom. We can join this organization by sending the message "junk" to 10086. After joining, we can enjoy free spam interception service.

6. Don't click on the link in the short message at will.

Some spam messages will contain some links, so we should not click on these links at will, because these links may cause our mobile phones to be infected with viruses or download some malicious software. If we are not sure about the security of the link, we'd better not click.

7. Don't disclose your mobile phone number.

We should not disclose our mobile phone numbers, for example, on forums and social media such as Weibo. Because this information may be obtained by advertisers, thus sending us spam messages.
