On this screen, you can toggle the button to the right to stop all incoming calls from coming in. You can also set up a schedule for when calls, texts and notifications are allowed during certain hours each day – such as when you are sleeping.

Stopping Random Numbers From Calling

If you are receiving unsolicited calls from random numbers, the best way to stop them is to register your phone number with the National Do Not Call Registry. This is a free service that blocks most telemarketers from calling your number. To register, you can call 1-888-382-1222 (voice) or 1-866-290-4236 (TTY) from the phone number you want to register. You can also register at donotcall.gov.

Additionally, if you receive calls from numbers that are not on the registry, you should contact your phone company and ask about blocking specific numbers or setting up a call screening service. Some providers may charge a fee for this service. You can also download an app that blocks unwanted calls so that they will not reach your phone at all.

Blocking Unwanted Calls with *61

Yes, *61 can be used to block unwanted calls. When you press *61 after receiving an unwanted call, the last caller’s number will be added to your call block list. This means that any future calls from that number will be automatically blocked. It is important to note, however, that *61 only blocks incoming calls and does not prevent outgoing calls from being made.
