[Mobile China News] Recently, it was reported that Apple mobile phones have become a gathering place for spam text messages. What is going on? In fact, this has something to do with Apple's iMessage. iMessage is an instant messaging software launched by Apple. It is different from the operator's SMS/MMS service. Users only need data support through WiFi or cellular data network to complete communication.
In recent years, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has cracked down on spam text messages. Some people in the industry said that operators have set some keywords to block some spam text messages. But it is hard to prevent, iMessage spam and even illegal content continue to erode Apple users' mobile phones. Many users reported that the iMessage spam messages they received included casino and gambling advertisements, invoicing advertisements, pornographic video recommendations, loans, fraudulent orders, selling high-imitation goods, drugs, etc. These spam text messages are constantly sent to users’ mobile phones in the form of pictures or text. “They are deleted again and again, and they can’t be deleted at all.” Some users said, “It’s a headache.”
So how do you charge for bulk spam text messages? The prices of each platform are slightly different. Some are priced at 0.18 yuan/item for bulk sending 10,000 items, 0.16 yuan/item for 20,000 items, and 0.14 yuan/item for 50,000 items. The price for more than 50,000 items will be discussed in detail. The platform also provides data screening services at a price of 300 yuan per 10,000 items, for example, only sending them to female users. Some platforms quote 0.08 yuan/item, and 0.07 yuan/item for more than 100,000 items. Both platforms say they can send any content, including sensitive content such as gambling and invoicing.
I wonder if you have received similar spam messages when using your iPhone?
