AT&T brings spam call blocking to customers through Call Protect
One of the most annoying things about modern phones is just how many spam calls you can get in one single day. I’ve been using a service called Should I Answer? to help block the amount of spam calls I receive on a daily basis, but now it looks like AT&T is bringing this feature to its customers directly with a new feature called Call Protect.
To activate the service, you’ll need to add the feature through your My AT&T app, or download the AT&T Call Protect app to your phone in order to reap the benefits of the service. AT&T says Call Protect should help protect its users from spam and fraudulent calls by automatically blocking fraud calls.
For numbers AT&T isn’t sure about but seem risky, AT&T will notify you that the call is likely spam so you can choose if you want to answer the call. AT&T notes that this feature will only work for customers who are in AT&T’s HD Voice coverage area.
