Mobile operators China Mobile and China Tietong are the hidden forces behind prank calls, the program claimed.
The two operators allow unidentified call centers, whose call numbers are "10086", the service hotline of China Mobile, and "110", the emergency call number in Chinese mainland, to get through.
