AT&T Unveils AT&T Call Protect to Help Customers Manage Unwanted Calls
More Control Over Nuisance Calls – Free
Today, AT&T* launches AT&T Call Protect. The free network-based service gives eligible AT&T wireless customers with HD Voice more control over unwanted calls on their smartphones.1
This innovative solution harnesses the power of the AT&T network to give customers automatic fraud blocking and suspected spam call warnings.
You can extend this innovative network-based service and get more optional features, including temporary call blocking2, by downloading the complementary AT&T Call Protect mobile companion app.
Simply add the feature through your myAT&T account or the AT&T Call Protect app and get these benefits:
- Automatic fraud blocking which helps reduce the chances that a customer will become the victim of a phone fraud or scam by stopping these types of calls in the network before they even reach the phone.3
- 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.4 (Must be in HD Voice coverage area).
“Nuisance calls are an industry-wide problem that unfortunately affect many people,” said Jeff Bradley, senior vice president, Device and Network Services Marketing, AT&T. “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.”
