Number to block spam calls

There is no single number to block spam calls, as this is typically handled by your phone carrier or by third-party apps. However, you can take several steps to reduce the number of spam calls you receive:

Register your number on the Do Not Call Registry:

In the United States, you can register your phone number on the Do Not Call Registry by visiting the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) website or calling 1-888-382-1222 (TTY: 1-866-290-4236). Once you are registered, telemarketers are prohibited from calling you, with some exceptions for charitable organizations and political campaigns.

Enable spam filtering on your phone:

Most modern smartphones have built-in spam filtering features. These features use a combination of caller ID data, call history, and user feedback to identify and block suspected spam calls. To enable spam filtering on your phone, you will need to access your phone’s settings and locate the spam filtering or call blocking options.

Install a spam filtering app:

There are a number of third-party apps available that can provide additional protection against spam calls. These apps typically use more sophisticated algorithms and data sources to identify and block spam calls. Some popular spam filtering apps include Truecaller, Hiya, and RoboKiller.

Be cautious of calls from unknown numbers:

If you receive a call from an unknown number, be cautious before answering it. Do not provide any personal information, and do not click on any links or download any attachments that are sent to you in a text message. If you are unsure whether a call is legitimate, you can always hang up and call back the person from a known number.

Report spam calls to your carrier:

Every time you receive a spam call, you should report it to your phone carrier. This will help them to identify the source of the spam and take steps to block it from calling other customers. You can usually report spam calls by pressing *69 after the call ends, or by visiting your carrier’s website or contacting customer service.
