I will introduce how to block calls from polls by telecommunication company. During the general election period, I get really annoyed by political poll phone calls. Dozens of phone calls come in every day, making it difficult to work. Especially for those who run a business, they get stressed out because they have to answer unknown calls.
I wonder how on earth the poll company knows my cell phone number to call me. So today, I have prepared some tips on why you are getting calls, how to block poll calls, and blocking spam election calls.
You can block poll calls by using the unsubscribe number provided by your telecommunication company. Still, there are times when I get a phone call. In this case, we recommend blocking ARS surveys using free services provided by each telecommunication company or DoNotCall. Now, let’s find out how to block public opinion poll calls.
Why am I receiving a poll call?
Even if you block public opinion poll calls, there are more than 10 calls a day during general elections and election periods. But how do you get my number? In fact, it is said that the reason people are receiving calls for public opinion polls is because telecommunication companies provide their numbers to public opinion poll companies in accordance with the Public Official Election Act. What does this mean?
Article 57-8 and Article 108-2 of the Public Official Election Act state that when a political party or election polling agency requests a virtual mobile phone number for a survey, it is randomly selected by gender, age, and region according to the request. In other words, it is not illegal to provide your number to a telecommunication company reporting agency.
Instead, the number is provided as a virtual number such as 050, so there is no risk of the number being leaked. Still, the reason why telecommunication companies do this is because calls to numbers such as 050 are charged, so they say they can make a lot of money. That’s why they said they were cooperative in providing their cell phone number… This was the reason why they were getting so many calls.
Opinion poll call blocking method by telecommunication company
If my number is legally provided, I will have no choice but to defend myself. The process for blocking poll calls varies slightly depending on the telecommunication company. Additionally, please note that not only regular carriers, but also budget phone users can opt out by blocking polls from their line carrier.
Block SKT opinion poll
This is how to block SKT opinion polls. First, call SKT’s exclusive blocking service number 1547 from your mobile phone. Then, an AI information message will appear. Press 1 and enter the 6-digit date of birth to complete blocking of poll calls.
If phone calls are annoying, you can also refuse the poll through the T World app. To block the T-World app poll, access the app and search for ‘number provided’ in the search bar. Next, go to the ‘Information on provision of election-related virtual numbers’ notice. You can block them by clicking the ‘Register to refuse provision of mobile phone virtual number’ button below the post.
There is a call blocking page on the T World official website below, so please go straight to the application. It’s easy to block SKT poll calls, but it’s cumbersome to even enter. You can block it by just verifying your identity below.

KT poll phone blocking
This is how to block KT opinion poll calls. Call KT’s exclusive blocking service number 080-999-1390. KT’s rejection process is automatically completed when you hear the guidance message after the call. For reference, KT iPhone users can easily check for spam calls right away by using the free WhoWho spam notification service.
Additionally, if you are a KT Android Galaxy user, we are providing a free service that blocks specific numbers such as 030 060 070 080, called the ‘Block information provider number’ service. In fact, numbers like 030 060 are not particularly important, so it is okay to block them.
You can block the number of an information provider by blocking all 0X0 15XX numbers or blocking specific numbers, so please use it. Only 10 items are provided per person, so please refer to this when applying. We leave you with the KT official website that provides the services below.

LG U+ opinion poll call blocking
This is the final method to block LG U+ poll calls. Call the LG U+ exclusive blocking service number: 080-855-0016. When you make a call, the ARS AI call is connected without a counselor. Just like SKT, if you press 1, the poll call blocking is automatically completed.
If you are a U+ carrier user, you can set up a free ‘spam call blocking’ setting like KT. It is said that it was provided as a strengthening measure after experiencing a personal information leak incident in 2023. Not everyone knows that it has become free starting in 2023. In particular, it is said that LG budget phone customers can also use it.
You can use ‘Spam Call Blocker’ by simply signing up for the service without installing a separate app. If you agree to the service, most spam calls will be filtered out by artificial intelligence. There is also a setting to exclude blocked numbers, so important numbers can be registered separately. For information, please refer to the official website below!

Do Not Call Call Blocking Service
I looked into how to block opinion polls. In addition to blocking election surveys, we will also introduce a service that blocks spam calls from regular calls. Outside of election season, I receive a lot of spam text messages about insurance and loan messages. In this case, you can block it using the Do Not Call site.
Do Not Call is a ‘call blocking registration service’ operated with the help of the Fair Trade Commission and the financial sector, allowing you to block calls for financial or business purposes. Although it cannot block all spam information, it is said to be effective in blocking advertising calls such as those from banks, securities, and insurance if registered when the mobile phone is first activated.
There are two types of do not call services: the Fair Trade Commission’s Do Not Call and the financial sector’s Do Not Call. The first is telephone solicitation, and the second is marketing call blocking. You can register after verifying your identity on each site, so please use it after verifying the website above.
Opinion poll call blocking method Summary of blocking calls by telecommunication company
Today we learned how to block poll phone calls. However, the unfortunate thing is that even if you apply for blocking like this, it is not immediately rejected. This application means that I will not provide my information list from now on, so if it has already been provided, I will receive a call for a survey until the provision deadline expires.
I think there will be fewer calls after this election period. Usually, public opinion polling organizations set a deadline when providing a request to provide a virtual mobile phone number. At this time, it is said that the agency does not set a long period because you pay money rather than just receiving a number.

I’ve been getting a lot of calls recently since Rep. Cheon Har-ram’s withdrawal from the People Power Party and Rep. Heo Eun-ah’s resignation. I hope they don’t come during the next election… And I almost forgot, but they say there is no way to block poll calls from my home phone. Unfortunately, the only way to make a home phone call is not to see the number in question. I hope you refer to it and find it helpful in your daily life.
