Call Control
How to add and manage this robo-caller prevention mobility feature.
What is Call Control?
Call Control is a free optional feature
The feature automatically screens robo-callers and prevents them from bothering you
When phoning you for the first time, a caller is prompted to enter a number
If the caller enters it successfully, they are not prompted again (provided they are one of your 25 most recent callers) and the call goes through
If they fail, they hear an automatic message stating that they were prevented from reaching you
The feature enables you to create an Accepted list of numbers that won’t be prompted. You should add to this list any important callers who may be using auto-dialing (such as school offices, doctors’ offices, libraries) or have difficulty following the prompts. If applicable, you should also add your home intercom’s caller ID to this list
