The irritating text message ads have compelled over 30 million people to file complaints with Iran’s Communications Regulatory Authority, calling on the ombudsman to do its duty and take action.
According to CRA Director Hossein Fallah, since November 2017, when an automated monitoring system for regulating advertisement messages was launched, over 30 million complaints have been registered.
Up until Tuesday the regulatory body had suspended mobile phone numbers of some 24,000 ad senders, ICTNA reported.
Via the automated system, people can submit the ad sender's phone number to the ombudsman via text message. "People can send the ad senders' number to 195 or use the USSD code *800#," Fallah said.
