__Call Control__ is a free optional feature that automatically screens robo-callers and prevents them from bothering you. Eligible TELUS Home Phone customers can opt in to activate Call Control. ## How Call Control works With Call Control on, when a caller phones you for the first time, they’ll be prompted to enter a number on their keypad. If they enter it successfully, the call will go through to you, and they won’t be prompted again (as long as they’re one of your 25 most recent callers). If they fail to enter the correct number, they’ll hear an automatic message that they’ve been prevented from reaching you. This screening process prevents robocalls from getting through, and is simple enough for real-life callers to pass. You can add phone numbers to your __Accepted list__ to avoid having them screened when they try to reach you. We highly recommend adding telephone numbers of frequent or important callers (e.g. family members, school offices, doctors’ offices, libraries, etc.), especially those that may use auto-dialling to reach you to your Accepted list, as well as anyone who doesn’t speak English or French. If you don’t want to receive calls from certain numbers at all, you can put them on your __Blocked list__.

Blocked list	Maximum 25 numbers

These customizations include: - Adding numbers to your __Accepted list__, which ensures these callers always get through to you - Adding numbers to your __Blocked list__, which ensures these callers never get through to you - Viewing your last few calls and their specifics in the __Call log__, and allowing you to move those numbers directly to your Accepted or Blocked lists ## Managing Call Control with IVR Call Control can also be managed with IVR (Interactive Voice Response). Dial *99 for English prompts. IVR can be used to: - Turn Call Control on - Turn Call Control off - Move any of your last 3 callers to your Allowed or Blocked list ## Important things to note - Call Control could screen out legitimate auto-dialed calls, like an automated recording notifying you of a package delivery - If your home has an intercom system with a phone number associated, add that Caller ID number to your Accepted list - Be sure to add anyone who doesn’t speak English to your Accepted list so they won’t be prompted Learn how [__Call Control works for mobile phones__](https://www.telus.com/en/support/article/call-control-for-mobile-devices-explained).
