According to the reporter investigation, this kind of rubbish message source is different, some from the mass device, more advanced from Mobile, Unicom, telecom three major operators. They not only facilitate the sending of spam messages, but also advise the relevant companies to deal with regulation. Advertising SMS led "garbage" mass device August 31 small Zhao received a "female privacy maintenance" Advertising text messages, the sender is a mobile phone number, but this mobile phone number how can not get through. The journalist then dialed the contact number left in the message. Reporter investigation found that these senders appear as mobile phone number of spam messages, most of the use of a special type of bulk SMS equipment, through the computer operation to mass message.

Sales staff told reporters this type of SMS is illegal products, but continue to sell, they can sell every month to dozens of units. According to some SMS advertisers to reporters that the cost of advertising messages per article does not exceed 1 cents, compared to other forms of advertising, the cost is extremely low, this is the message mass device in the market for a long time to sell a major reason. A smaller operator suspected of participating in mass mass-selling is a reason for the proliferation of spam messages, but the use of mass device to send spam messages and more advanced than it is really dwarfed. Many of the spam messages are from the number 106, such as the beginning of numbers, and such numbers in fact only "mobile, unicom, telecommunications," the three operators themselves can use. This is to say "national backbone communications operators are also involved in the mass of spam messages"? Chengdu, a company's salesman said, they are using the three major operators to carry out the group of customers bulk SMS message, such text message code is 106 digits, each only need 5 cents. However, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Ministry of Industry, this group of business can only be used for internal units, can not be transferred to the operation of mass advertising SMS profit. So how do these mass-mailing companies get mass messaging from telecoms operators? In the survey of China Mobile company, a technical person responsible for the group's clients ' mass messaging business disclosed the facts to reporters. The original group of customers bulk SMS business onlyFor the system, the internal unit to send, but these years the operator's assessment task is heavier, in order to complete the task is not divided into objects, what business are connected. Monthly thousands SMS mobile profit 300,000 reporter survey found that mobile companies not only to send spam messages to facilitate, and even for texting business planning countermeasures to deal with regulation. Not only that, telecom operators will also send bulk SMS companies to encourage these companies to do similar business more. A number of mobile account managers told reporters that they will be the message packet annual fee of 30% to 40% rebate to the advertising message group, so converted down, through 106 and other mass-message delivery channel to push the advertising message, the actual fee is only about 3 cents. And the advertising message to the bulk of mass enterprises charge the cost of each message is more than 5 cents, the middle of at least 2 cents spreads. A small group of advertising SMS mass enterprises send 10 million text messages, monthly profit of not less than 200,000 yuan, and mobile companies from the direct profit of 300,000 yuan. Reporter noted that the Ministry of Industry and Information industry has issued several times, the request to carry out the work of garbage message, and mobile, unicom, telecommunications and other three major telecommunications operators have signed the management of garbage messages related agreements, special treatment of spam messages. However, the reality is that the three operators not only do not manage the spam message, but support and even encourage the spread of junk text messages, and seek benefits from them. Reporter investigation found that the three major operators, although they have released a spam message complaints telephone, but these complaints are not in the form of phone calls. Junk text messages, "Not me." Mobile phone users small Zhao August 31 received the enrollment ADS spam messages, the text of the message code is the beginning of 106 of a string of numbers, that is to say this message must be through mobile, Unicom, telecom one of the three major operators issued.

According to the survey, more than two-thirds of the spam messages are in fact the three major telecom operators themselves sent, in order to their own interests eventually become the biggest driver of spam messages. How should they be held accountable? Faced with the request of the victim to check the spam message, the three telecom operators, Chinese mobile, China Unicom and Telecom, were powerless to make the junk text messages and their relationships clean, and they became powerful in front of the companies that brought their own benefits, and even helped them evade state regulation. The service is impressive.
