Q: Is there any way of reporting phone spammers in China?

I'm so fed up of getting text messages about housing, plastic surgery and who knows what, at all hours of the day and night. It seems like the number of spam text messages and phone calls is increasing but there doesn't seem to be a way to block numbers in my phone's settings. Is there any complaints hotline you can call or text to have them block those numbers?

I sadly think the Chinese police are too busy to do anything about this. 

Change your phone number. Never give your phone number to anyone.

If you have an Android phone, you can block pretty much any text or phone call spam, especially the dreaded Unknown and Private numbers.  It's one of the reasons I will never consider any other phone.

 

In iOS 7, they will be adding a block phone number system, but not sure how powerful it is, it may only allow you to block after you receive a message, not before.
