(Bangkok Post photo)Major mobile operators have vowed to tackle spam SMS messages involving gambling, obscenity and scams, in line with the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC)'s requests to safeguard members of the public. Last week the NBTC held talks with several major telecom operators, asking them to gear up efforts to clamp down on unlawful SMS messages through self-regulation. TUC will also seek cooperation with other telecom operators to gather information about illicit SMS messages as part of collective efforts to block them. Any customers receiving undesirable SMS messages can report them to the AIS Call Centre via *137 in order to block them.
