In 2025, T2 successfully thwarted approximately half a billion spam calls.
Russian mobile operator T2 has been actively fighting against telephone fraud and spam since the beginning of the year, protecting its subscribers from over 500 million spam calls. This unprecedented effort has equated to 95 years of "silence" from annoying spam calls.
Andrey Borzov, Product and Client Experience Director at T2, stated that the company does everything possible to ensure its clients can communicate without unnecessary interference. T2's subscriber protection system, based on big data technology, processes 3 million unwanted calls daily, preventing them from reaching its subscribers.
The anti-spam system of T2 identifies unwanted calls, including call drops, using analytical algorithms that recognise spam calls based on duration, frequency, massiveness, and user reaction. The company also utilises up-to-date databases of unscrupulous numbers to identify suspicious incoming calls.
In addition, T2 prevents suspicious incoming calls from reaching its clients by enriching its anti-spam service databases with information from resources where users themselves leave information about spam calls. This collaborative approach helps minimise the impact of scammers and advertising bots on T2's subscribers' daily lives.
In the first half of 2025 alone, T2 protected its subscribers from approximately three billion seconds of unwanted phone interaction. Borzov also mentioned that this real contribution to T2's subscribers' personal time and peace of mind.
While specific details on T2's strategies for combating telephone fraud and spam using big data technologies are not readily available, it is known that Russia is planning to create a biometric database to identify and block scammer voices, which could potentially reduce the effectiveness of traditional phone scams. Additionally, the Antifraud system has been effective in reducing the share of fraud involving spoofing telephony from 30% to 2% of total connections in 2024.
Other mobile operators worldwide often use big data technologies to monitor traffic and identify patterns of fraudulent activity. This includes analysing user behaviour, device information, and network traffic to detect anomalies.
As T2 continues to combat telephone fraud and spam, its subscribers can rest assured that their communication is secure and spam-free, providing them with a peace of mind they deserve.
In the realm of data-and-cloud-computing technology, T2's subscriber protection system, a big data technology-based solution, processes 3 million unwanted calls daily, ensuring a spam-free environment for its clients. Furthermore, T2 leverages this technology to empower its subscribers, enriching its anti-spam service databases with information from resources where users themselves leave spam call data, thereby enhancing its capability to combat telephone fraud and spam.
