“Hello, I’m calling from the Human Resources department, we have received your resume”, does this sound familiar? It is one of the many spam calls that thousands of people continue to receive every day.
The General Telecommunications Law, which came into force in June 2023, seemed to put an end to unauthorized calls. However, it has not been possible to put an end to this type of annoying advertising.

While it is true that there are alternatives such as the Robinson List, which prevents companies from sending you advertising without your permission, there is a button on your phone that you can deactivate to put an end to unauthorized advertising calls.
For Android
1
Open the “Phone” or “Calls” application
1
Press the three vertical dots in the upper right corner and press “Call settings”
1
Search and select the “Additional services” option
1
Turn off the switch next to “Show my caller ID” or to hide your number
For iPhone
1
Open the “Settings” application and select the “Phone” section
1
Look for the “Show Caller ID” option
1
Deactivate the function
By deactivating this function you will configure your mobile phone in “private or hidden mode”, so that it will not be visible every time you receive or make a call. This will make it difficult for companies to access your personal information and data through your phone number.
The Robinson List: another alternative to avoid spam
The Robinson list is a free service managed by the Spanish Association of Digital Economy (Adigital) where citizens can register to avoid advertising from companies to which they have not given their consent to send them advertising by telephone, postal mail, email and SMS/MMS.

You can register on their website quickly and easily and in this way only companies to which you have given your consent will be able to send you advertising.
