AT&T Home Phone: How to Use Call Block

You can dial star-6-0 to block unwanted calls from a particular number in your local calling area.

How does AT&T Smart call blocker work? Say goodbye to unwanted calls. Robocalls are automatically blocked from ever ringing through—even the first time. You can also permanently blacklist up to 1,000 names and numbers with one touch.

And if you’re ever unsure who’s calling, our call blocker will show you the contact information for the caller, so you can easily block them again.

What does * 77 do on a landline?

Why do I still get calls from blocked numbers?

If that's the case, calls and text messages may appear as coming from an unknown number.

Does AT&T have a spam blocker for landline phones?

What does * 69 do on a landline?

So... what is Smart call blocker?

Smart call blocker filters robocalls and unwanted calls for you, while allowing welcome calls to get through.
You can set up your lists of welcome callers and unwelcome callers. The Smart call blocker allows calls from your welcome callers to get through, and it blocks calls from your unwelcome callers.
For other unknown home calls, you can allow, block, or screen these calls, or forward these calls to the answering system.
With some easy configurations, you can set to only filter robocalls on the home line by asking the callers to press the pound key (#) before the calls are put through to you.
You can also set the Smart call blocker to screen home calls by asking the callers to record their names and press the pound key (#). After your caller completes the request, your telephone rings and announces the caller's name. You can then choose to block or answer the call, or you can forward the call to the answering system. If the caller hangs up, or does not respond or record his/her name, the call is blocked from ringing through. When you add your welcome callers to your Phonebook or Allow list, they will bypass all screening and ring directly to your handsets.
