From the beginning of 2019 until now, several hundred users from Latin America have reported calls from the phone number 1170539014. The number in question belongs to Argentina, and some of the testimonies of the affected people assure that the number reaches up to 50 calls in the same day. But who is 1170539014 really? Is it an individual or do you belong to a company that wants to offer us its products or services? We see it.
Missed call from 1170539014, who is it?
"They called me 30 times today and I don't know who it could be", "I have 52 missed calls from the number 1170539014 even with my mobile turned off", "They called me during the night and I don't know how to block the number 1170539014"… These are some of the examples of real testimonials of users affected by the calls of 1170539014. Who is hiding behind it?
Movistar, or at least several of the people who have managed to contact the telephone operator say so. Many others claim that it could be a company that tries to get personal data of people at random.
From Tuexperto.com we cannot confirm its authorship, what is undoubtedly a fact is that no Call Center makes such a high number of calls repeatedly, so it is most likely a company or person outside of Movistar. The good news is that we can block calls from the number in question through several of the methods that we will detail below.
How to block calls from 1170539014 and other spam numbers
Block calls from both 1170539014 and other annoying numbers in a process that depends on whether we have a mobile line or a fixed line. In the first case, we can use applications for Android and iPhone designed to block the reception of any number that we indicate, as well as other spam numbers registered by the system.
Mr. Number for iPhone and True Caller for Android are two of the best applications to block calls. Once we have installed the application in question on our smartphone, we will manually add 1170539014 to the black list and activate the anti spam filter so that calls are automatically redirected.
In the case that we have a fixed line, the second method to resort to is based on registering our personal data and the telephone numbers where we want to stop receiving calls on the Nollame web list. The platform headed by the Argentine government forces all companies registered in the country to cease making calls for advertising purposes at the risk of breaching the current Data Protection Law.
Once we have registered our telephone numbers, we will stop receiving advertising calls within a period of no more than a month and a half. We can also add mobile phone numbers in addition to landlines.
