Despite having a long history today in forums and specialized Internet pages, the number 2626 continues to be one of the telephones most reported by users. For some time now, there have been few users who have reported messages and SMS from 2626 throughout the day and repeatedly. The reports in all cases are similar: several SMS throughout the day and even at night. But who is 2626 really? We see it below.
2626 SMS, who is it?
2626 has been one of the most reported phone numbers in the history of the Internet. Its beginnings date back to 2013, the year in which many users reported SMS 2626 and other similar-looking numbers. Who is hiding behind it?
VISA, or at least that's what users claim. The number in question shows the ID of the owner of the telephone line and requires that an SMS with the word VISA be sent to the same number of the original SMS, that is, to 2626. As many other users have reported that the SMS in question has to be sent to another number, which corresponds to line 2616256192.
Is it really VISA, the company for electronic payments through credit and debit cards, or is it a scam? Although from Tuexperto.com we have not been able to corroborate it, it is most likely that it is a scam to subscribe people to premium SMS services . The best thing to do in these cases is to ignore the message in question and block premium SMS to avoid subscribing to paid services without our consent.
How to block SMS from 2626 and other spam numbers
Blocking SMS from 2626 and other numbers is a very simple process on most mobiles, although this depends on the operating system and the brand of phone in question.
The generic process to block this type of SMS is based on resorting to the Messages application, accessing its settings and adding the phone number that we want to block. We can also use third-party applications like this one.
Once we have blocked the number in question, we will have to contact our telephone operator to deactivate the premium SMS subscription service . With this, we will avoid accidentally subscribing to some type of payment service.
