The act of submitting telephone contact details to services or entities that subsequently initiate unsolicited and unwanted communicationsoften advertising or fraudulent in natureis a significant concern. This practice involves intentionally or unintentionally exposing a phone number to systems designed to deliver spam calls and messages.
The proliferation of such activities degrades communication efficiency, wastes recipients’ time, and can lead to financial losses through scams or by consuming data allowances. Historically, the accessibility of automated dialing and messaging systems has contributed to the rise of this issue, necessitating regulatory intervention and technological countermeasures.
