Receiving unwanted calls from unknown numbers is one of the most annoying things we have in this tech world. To solve part of this problem, we had some services like Do not disturb me, which made it possible to unsubscribe from telemarketing calls from several companies, but did not solve the entire problem. 224s6r
That's where the number comes in. 0303, which went into effect last Thursday, March 10th. With this new decision by the Anatel, the use of the 0303 number in telemarketing calls becomes mandatory.

How will the new telemarketing rule work? 4t6h27
Code 0303 is for the exclusive use of telemarketing calls. In addition, it came to facilitate identification, since the number will have to be explicit on the smartphone screen and cannot be an “unknown number”. This will avoid that problem of avoiding answering a call because we already imagine being a boring telemarketer, when, in fact, it could be something important.
It is important to warn, however, that many of these calls are used as a fraud tool and use numbers as a means to do so, known as spoofing. In these cases, it is important to always check the number and if there is an inconsistency, the company about the fraud on the number.
Anatel is already aware of the problem and has already established an anti-fraud group to deal with these cases, which are generally made by robots.
Finally, it is important to warn that even with the novelty that will facilitate and make everything more transparent, you can still use “classic” means such as the Do not disturb me, or else apps to block telemarketing calls.

Last year, we did an article dedicated to Do not disturb me from Anatel, teaching you how to in the same. In short, Don't disturb me is a site where you can your phone number and choose which companies can or cannot send you telemarketing services.
Although the idea is interesting, because it cannot cover all companies, something always ends up missing and does not solve 100% of the problems with inconvenient calls and messages. This is where the 0303 code will be crucial.
