Antispam

Previous  Next

The Antispam module blocks incoming SMS/MMS messages and incoming/outgoing calls based on your rules.
 
Unsolicited messages usually include advertisements from mobile phone service providers or messages from unknown or unspecified users. The term block contacts refers to moving an incoming message to the Spam Logs section automatically. No notification is displayed when an incoming message is blocked. The advantage of this is that you will not be bothered by unsolicited information, but can always check the logs for messages that may have been blocked by mistake.
 
To add new Antispam rule, tap Call and SMS Rule List > Add New. Enter the phone number you wish to block or tap the + button to choose the number from your contact list. Customize the rule by allowing or blocking the messages and calls and tap Done.
 
To edit or remove an existing rule entry, touch and hold the entry and choose the desired action. If you wish to remove all antispam rules, press the MENU button and tap Remove All.
 
NOTE: The phone number must include the international dialing code followed by the actual number (e.g., +1610100100).

 

Settings
 
Block anonymous calls – enable this option if you wish to block callers that have their phone number intentionally hidden via the Calling Line Identification Restriction (CLIR).
 
Block known contacts – use this option to block messages and calls for contacts included in your contact list.
 
Block unknown contacts – blocks messages and calls for contacts not included in your contact list. You can use this option to block unwelcome phone calls (e.g. "cold calls") or to prevent kids from dialing unknown numbers. (To prevent this, it is recommended to password protect your Antispam settings.)

 

In the Spam Logs section, you can see the calls and messages blocked by the Antispam module. Each log contains the name of the event, corresponding phone number, date and time of the event. Blocked SMS messages also contain the message body.
