Extended information:

"Pseudo base station" is a fake base station. The equipment generally consists of a host and a laptop or mobile phone. It can be searched through SMS group senders, SMS senders and other related equipment. Take the mobile phone card information centered on it and within a certain radius, take advantage of the flaws of 2G mobile communications, pretend to be the operator's base station, and use other people's mobile phone numbers to forcibly send short messages such as fraud and advertising to the user's mobile phone.

Preventive measures for fake base stations:

Pay attention to the sudden disappearance of mobile phone signals

Experts and industry insiders remind mobile phone users that when the mobile phone signal suddenly disappears, it may be a fake base station. When the base station sends mass text messages to invade, users should pay attention to the text messages that come at this time and do not fall into the trap of fraudulent text messages.

Install interception software

CCTV’s “Focus Interview” reported that mobile phone security experts pointed out that due to technological advancements, fraudulent text messages often forge official information from banks, airlines, operators, etc. The number sends "warm reminders" and "safety tips" to make it difficult for people to guard against. While mobile phone users should strengthen their security vigilance, they also need to use mobile phone security software to identify fraudulent text messages sent by fake base stations through technical means.

Guangdong Mobile has even developed the industry's first "Mobile Security Pioneer" application with the function of preventing illegal text messages from fake base stations. For spam messages sent by fake base stations, "Mobile Security Pioneer" can effectively intercept and friendly prompt users to help users identify illegal text message content and avoid user harm.

Switch to a more secure mobile phone

Inquiring about the victims of fake base stations, we can find that users of China Mobile and China Unicom account for the majority, and local police have also joined forces to rectify fake base stations. Most of them are local branches of China Mobile and China Unicom. However, China Telecom and its users have reported cases and requested investigation and punishment, but no relevant cases have been found on Baidu. This phenomenon is strange. The reason is that the pseudo base station cannot connect to Telecom's CDMA network.
