Tobila Systems’ Spam Message and Call Blocking Feature Becomes Available in KDDI’s Ponta Pass iOS App

Tobila Systems Inc. announced that its database-powered “Spam Message and Call Blocking” feature became available on April 9, 2026, in the iOS app for “Ponta Pass,” a membership service provided by KDDI Corporation. Previously, users had to install a dedicated app to use the feature. With this integration, iOS users can now complete the settings for “Spam Message and Call Blocking” directly inside the Ponta Pass app, without installing an additional app. Tobila Systems expects this update to expand opportunities for users to access its service. Improved convenience to accelerate user expansion Until now, Ponta Pass users needed to install a separate dedicated app when using the “Spam Message and Call Blocking” feature. Starting April 9, 2026, iOS users can use the feature with only the Ponta Pass app. By eliminating the need for an additional app, the service becomes more seamless, improving user convenience and expanding touchpoints with Tobila Systems’ database-based spam call and SMS protection service. Supported devices are iOS 16.0 or later; use within the Ponta Pass app requires iOS 17.0 or later. For Android, users must continue to install the dedicated “Spam Message and Call Blocking” app as before. About Ponta Pass Spam Message and Call Blocking Details and setup instructions for the spam message and call blocking feature in the app are available on the dedicated “Ponta Pass Anshin Service Spam Message and Call Blocking” website. About Tobila Systems’ spam information database Tobila Systems’ spam information database integrates information provided by police, external organizations, users, and Tobila Systems’ own investigations, and is used to detect spam calls and spam SMS messages.
