What Is Call Blocking?

Call blocking is a feature that enables users to prevent incoming calls from specific phone numbers or categories of callers. When a blocked number attempts to call, the call is automatically declined or redirected, often without notifying the recipient. This tool is particularly useful for managing unsolicited calls, enhancing privacy, and improving focus during work.

Why Is Call Blocking Important?

  • Enhanced Productivity: You can focus on important tasks without frequent interruptions by filtering out unwanted calls.

  • Improved Security: Blocking unknown or suspicious numbers helps protect against potential scams or fraudulent activities.

  • Better Call Management: It allows for a more organized communication flow, ensuring that only priority calls are attended to.
