Since last June 29, any company domiciled in Spanish territory that wants to contact a client, current or potential, must have the express consent of the same. However, and despite the fact that the legal framework is clear in this regard, spam calls continue to be a problem on a daily basis.
We are used to using all the tools available in our smartphone. During recent years, the number of applications that allow us to protect ourselves from this type of calls has not stopped growing. However, what happens in the event that we receive the calls on our landline? Is it possible to protect ourselves from them? The National Police has used https://twitter.com/policia/status/1779115063791751236? to remind us that, indeed, it is possible to carry out this type of actions. However, we must bear in mind that there is an important limitation: we must know the number in question to proceed to block it. We tell you how.
Enter this code
The fixed telephones They have a number of limitations compared to mobile devices. Most of the time, the options offered to us are activated through the introduction of a series of codes. For block spam calls that we have received and that we do not want to continue to be repeated, we have to mark the code *060. Once we press this key combination, a message will automatically appear explaining that we have enabled the call blocking service and will give us a series of options that we must enter from the phone keyboard.
The number that we must press may vary. Although it is usually number 3, it is always good that we pay attention to the recording to avoid having to repeat this process because we did not listen to the instructions well.
Enter the number
Once we have marked the corresponding key, the next step we must follow is to enter the full number that we want to block. As we have previously anticipated, we cannot unblock all numbers that are suspected of being spam. So we will have to go individually restricting each of them. Luckily, currently in many landlines We can find a small screen that informs us of the exact number that is trying to contact us, so identifying the number is very simple.
When we enter the number, we must first dial the international prefix. If the number is from Spain, we will have to enter the prefix 34 followed by the corresponding number. When we have finished, we must also press the # key to confirm that we have finished.
It is important to know that we can block as many numbers as we want, as long as they are separated from each other by the # button. Once we have gone through all the steps, we can be sure that, at least those numbers, will surely stop calling us.
