Eligible AT&T wireless customers will benefit from automatic fraud blocking and suspected spam call warnings.
The network-based free service offers more optional features, including temporary call blocking, by downloading the complementary AT&T Call Protect mobile companion app.
AT&T Call Protect app benefits
# Automatic fraud blocking stops unwanted phone calls in the network itself before they reach the phone.
# There will be suspected spam warnings on the incoming call screen which let customers choose whether or not to answer calls that originate from a suspected spam source. AT&T wireless users must be in HD Voice coverage area.
“We’ve listened to our customers and know they want a network that provides tools to proactively assist in blocking nuisance calls. AT&T Call Protect, along with others, will help put customers more in control of the calls they receive,” said Jeff Bradley, senior vice president, Device and Network Services Marketing, AT&T.
