918288528, Spam number or does it belong to a company?

Another new phone number is added to the list of reports that different users make in forums to report this type of call. We are talking about 918288528, a landline whose prefix 918 belongs to the Autonomous Community of Madrid. The complaints of the affected people are the same as in previous telephone numbers such as 912443460 or 910768022. “Several calls throughout the day”, “during the weekend” and even “late in the afternoon / night ”. Who is the 918288528 really and what is the call obtained? Is it a private individual simply corresponds to a company that wants to offer us “personalized” products or services? We see it below.

Missed call from 918288528, who is it?

During the last days and since the month of May, there are not few users who report several calls from 918 288 528. And it is that while some affirm that they do not receive an answer once they have picked up the call, others assure that it belongs to a telephone company. But who does it really belong to?

Vodafone is the company behind these calls, or at least the affected users corroborate it. The objective of the same, as in previous occasions, is nothing more than to offer "personalized" plans to carry out portability to the company in question from other operators. In the event that we are Vodafone customers, the objective of the call will be aimed at offering plans "that improve the current rate" and that in practice "involve an increase in the monthly price of the same," according to many other users who they claim to be customers of the telephone operator.

Whatever our case, from Tuexperto.com we recommend blocking calls from the landline number through the options that we will detail below.

How to block calls from 918288528 and other spam numbers

If we are one of those affected by calls from the number 918 288 528, we can use two methods that will allow us to block any calls for advertising purposes.

The first of this is based on registering all our data, as well as our contact telephone numbers, on the Lista Robinson website. The portal managed by the Spanish Association of Digital Economy is in charge of forcing any company whose database includes our telephone number to stop making advertising calls at the risk of breaching the current European Data Protection Law.

The second method, and the most effective in the short term, is based on installing an application on our mobile that allows us to block calls. True Caller for Android and Mr. Number for iOS on iPhone are two of the best applications dedicated to this purpose. Once we have installed them, the process is as simple as manually adding the number 918288528 to the application's black list and applying the anti spam filter.

Automatically all calls that the system detects as spam will be blocked and will be redirected to our voicemail if we have it active.
