Fight against spam calls in South Africa

Vodacom and MTN have committed to reducing spam calls on their networks, and Vodacom has deployed real-time monitoring and machine learning tools to block suspicious callers in South Africa.

South African cellular users have become increasingly frustrated by the surge in spam calls reaching their numbers, which has reduced voice call volumes as more users become reluctant to answer.

Yeah riiiiiight!

Will they block their own spam? I think not.

MTN South Africa told MyBroadband that it had observed a double-digit reduction in spam calls on its network in recent years.

So, double-digit means a 10% reduction...

so why do they keep letting call centres use their numbers?

Will stick with call screening thanks.

Vodacom itself being the biggest culprit
