The GSMA Spam Reporting Service
The GSMA Spam Reporting Service provides a clearinghouse of messaging spam reports submitted by mobile consumers from participating mobile networks around the world. Providing on-network and off-network data gives operators the ability to understand the extent of spam within, entering and leaving their networks from other operators. Feedback from subscribers leveraging a spam reporting short code, will be aggregated into this Spam Reporting Service.
Through automated collection and analysis of subscriber-reported spam, the service will provide individual operators with detailed information on spam: content, senders, and reporters.
The service will also provide aggregated messaging spam data cross MNO networks, providing enhanced visibility into high volume, fast evolving, and emerging threats.
Operators access these reports through a web interface and use this visibility to target enforcement action against abusive traffic only, without impacting legitimate users and content.
