As election season approaches, we are receiving a lot of calls for opinion polls. In my case, I tend not to answer calls from numbers I don’t know, and when I use a T phone, they tell me roughly where the call is coming from, so I just reject the call, but as the number of calls increases, it’s quite stressful. In addition, due to the data shared by telecommunication companies, there is little point in blocking each number individually, so today we will share how to completely block poll calls.

A call from a poll
If you look at the call history, do you see that on Wednesday, February 7th, there were a total of 3 poll calls made at hourly intervals? In addition, there were three phone numbers that received calls the next day, Thursday. The T phone I am using, which is not the phone provided by default on my cell phone, notifies me that it is a public opinion poll, so I was able to reject the call. In my mother’s case, she is using a basic phone, and if she receives multiple calls from 02, she I was wondering if it was someone he knew, so he just accepted it the second and third time. Moreover, these people seem to have no concept of time and call me late in the evening and even on public holidays.
Block poll calls
1. SKT
Poll phone numbers are randomly provided by telecommunication companies, so even if you block an incoming number, you will still get a call from a different number next time. Therefore, you must request to reject the safe number to completely block poll calls. In the case of SKT, you can block by calling 1547, pressing 1, and entering your date of birth.
1547 > Number 1 > Enter date of birth

2. LG U+
For LG U+, call 080-855-0016 and press 1 to automatically block poll calls.
080-855-0016 > No. 1
3. K.T.
In the case of KT, you can block poll calls more simply than SKT and LG U+. If you call 080-999-1390, they will automatically block it.

People who use budget phones can also block calls according to the phone network they are using, but even with this blocking setting, individual lawmakers cannot filter out calls or texts from numbers assigned to them by law. In that case, you have to block them one by one.

We’ve summarized how to block poll phone calls. In my case, since I changed my cell phone, I am receiving a lot of advertising calls and text messages. Next time, I will post about how to block advertising texts.
