So, below, we will guide you on how to block election calls or spam advertising calls that you do not want to receive.

Poll phone personal information leaked?
How do you know my number and call me? Were you worried that your personal information might have been leaked without your knowledge?
It is said that the voter’s mobile phone number is provided to the public opinion polling agency by the mobile communication service provider in accordance with Article 57-8 and Article 108-2 of the Public Official Election Act.

There are certainly cases where a public opinion poll is absolutely necessary, but it is still good for your mental health to block calls that make you tired. We will guide you through a simple and officially certified method, so please use it well.
