try android apps "call filter".

u can preset the key words to filter sms. eg. to filter all sms with the word <adv>, <promo>, etc.

wtf so i register my number in DNC for all tele-marketing companies to call these few days. Then become "on-going relationship" in future?

 

[BrOwnTeddy]

Is this going to be like the "reply unsubscribe" to spam emails? Ha...

Or like when hdb put in the anti-junk mail feature in our mailboxes, then Singpost comes in and charge advertisers to put mailers in our mailbox?

Money lah deh.

That stupid anti junk mail crap work only about 95% of the time.
But ERP works 100% of the time.

Collect money efficiency 100%.
Stop spammers efficiency 95%.

Makes perfect sense man.

Yup, been getting some of these and can't seem to block them. Tuition agency too.

For those who are bored, go to this link, type in the number/name on the sms and you can usually find the agent details (if the bugger is registered). If you have a few of their details, just go propertyguru, find some properties that they are selling and use the other spammers' contacts to make an enquiry... Like I said, do it when u are really bored...

Finally there was one good policy from the pap govt, yet it back-pedaled it and make it one of their half-baked useless policies.

Having already smsed to you, there is an ongoing relationship.

This is a bloody loophole. HOW do one detemine if the caller and receiver has an on going relatonship? how do you define it, sms you once, call you once over the phone or must be several calls with monetary transation and sign agreement than consider ongoing relationship? Some companies that you really have an ongoing relationship like you have signed up membership for will sms you for permission to continue texting you promotion and related stuffs, these I do not mind, BUT problem is the loophole, ANY RELATED companies that has relationship with the organisation you have membership also can text you. KNN WTF is this.
