Call Block allows you to block calls from specific phone numbers and telemarketers. Blocked callers hear a voice recording that says you’re not currently accepting calls.
Block a specific phone number
- Press * 6-0 (on a rotary phone, dial 1-1-6-0).
- Follow the instructional prompts for call blocking options. Phone numbers you add to your Call Block list will be repeated back to you for confirmation.
Cancel call blocking
To cancel call blocking, enter 8-0 and follow the prompts. (On a rotary phone, dial 1-1-8-0.)
Block telemarketing calls
If you know the phone number of a specific telemarketer, you can dial *6-0 to block them.
If you're tired of receiving unwanted telemarketing phone calls in general, try signing up for the Do Not Call Registry.
The National Do Not Call registry
The Do Not Call Registry lets you register your home or mobile phone number for free. It's backed by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. And the registration never expires.
- Open the website: www.donotcall.gov.
- Click Register Your Phone.
- Register up to three different phone numbers.
- Enter your email address.
- Reply to the verification email when you receive it.
What the registry does not do
The Registry will not block calls from charities, political calls, surveys and information calls. It will not block calls from a company or organization that has a relationship with you. To stop calls from any of these companies or groups, you must ask them to take you off their list. They are required to honor your request.
