Starting March 1, 2027, Russians will be able to "self-ban" incoming calls from abroad.
Subscribers will be able to issue a "self-ban" independently through "state services" or at MFC. This was announced by the first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee for Digital Development, Anton Namkin.
He said the measure is supposedly especially important for older people and others who are more often targeted by phone scammers.
"Self-ban" is included in the second package of measures against cyber fraud, adopted by the State Duma.
