1O1O has always played a proactive role in fighting SMS phishing scams, so takes a pride in helping citizens identify the true sources of SMS, while safeguarding them from phone and SMS scams. This is why we have thrown our weight behind the new Short Message Service (SMS) Sender Registration Scheme, officially launched by the Office of The Communications Authority (OFCA) on 28 December 2023.

As one of the first telecommunications service providers to take part in the SMS Sender ID Registration System, CSL Mobile Limited will now start sending texts* that begin with the“#” symbol as a Registered Sender ID. When you receive a texts with a sender ID containing the“#” symbol, you’ll be immediately aware you have received a message from 1O1O.

* Scheme not applicable to SMS messages to which recipients are expected to reply via the sender’s phone number.

How to recover a hacked WhatsApp account:
  1. Reinstall WhatsApp on your mobile device
  2. Enter and confirm your mobile number
  3. Enter the six-digit PIN you receive by SMS
  4. Regain access to your account, after which the hacker will be automatically logged out and unable to use your account.
  • Hackers may have enabled two-factor authentication, so you might need to wait seven days before logging into WhatsApp.
  • When logging in again, WhatsApp will restore only the most recent back-up (if available), so conversations during the period your account was compromised by hackers will not be recoverable.
