    How to Block Unwanted Calls: Simple Ways to Stop Spam & Robocalls

    Tired of Spam Calls? Here’s How to Take Control

    Spam calls, robocalls, and unknown numbers can interrupt your day, drain your attention, and sometimes even pose security risks. Fortunately, your smartphone already has built-in tools that can dramatically reduce unwanted calls.

    Here are three simple ways to block unwanted calls and regain control of your phone.

    1. Silence Unknown Callers

    If you frequently receive calls from unfamiliar numbers, silencing unknown callers is one of the easiest solutions.

    How to do it:

    Go to Settings Select Apps > Phone Scroll down and tap Silence Unknown Callers

    This sends calls from numbers not in your contacts straight to voicemail while still logging them for review later.

    👉 Ideal for reducing robocalls without missing important contacts.


    2. Screen Calls with Do Not Disturb

    Another effective strategy is using your phone’s Focus or Do Not Disturb feature to filter who can reach you.

    Steps:

    Open Settings Tap Focus > Do Not Disturb Select People Choose Allow Calls From → Contacts Only

    This ensures only saved contacts can call while the feature is active — great during work hours, events, or downtime.


    3. Block Fake or Suspicious Numbers

    Some users also block commonly spoofed numbers to reduce repeat spam attempts.

    Quick trick:

    Create a contact with the number 000-000-0000 Block that contact

    While it won’t stop every spam call, it can reduce certain spoofing attempts and nuisance calls.


    Bonus Tips to Reduce Spam Calls

    Avoid answering unknown numbers whenever possible Don’t return suspicious missed calls Register your number with the National Do Not Call Registry Use built-in carrier spam filtering if available

    #CriminalJustice #StopRobocalls #Petition | Robocalls are not only a nuisance, they are a real threat to the economic security of millions. More than 33 million scam robocalls are made to Americans every single day, and as many as 68 MILLION Americans have reported losing money from these calls. That’s why I’m proud to stand with Senator #JonTester and support his efforts to STOP robocalls!
