If you’re tired of receiving robocalls or text message spam, you can take action to help shut down the spammers. Most reputable telecom carriers don’t want unsolicited messages on their network, so they rely on reports of abuse to identify and disconnect their abusive customers. To report abuse, you need to first identify the spammer’s real phone number and find the telecom carrier responsible for that number. You can then report the abuse to the responsible carrier. Remember to be professional and respectful when contacting the carrier. It’s important to report abuse not only to the carrier but also to your wireless provider so they can take action as well. Blocking the number or using the report spam buttons on your phone may not be as effective in stopping the spam. It’s also worth noting that political or non-profit organizations are not exempt from reporting if they are sending unsolicited mass messages. If you need more accurate data or want to use an API to look up numbers, you can sign up for a free account with Twilio or Plivo. Lastly, don’t forget to help your tech-savvy friends discover how they can take action against phone spam too.
