With the spread of many different automatic calls around the world, major companies such as T-Mobile, Google, Apple and even governments are taking a step to end this farce, which is considered annoying calls to all users.
How to block automatic calls
It is known that when we receive a call on our mobile phone, it shows the ID of the number, such as:
- Name (in case it is registered on the phone)
- Phone number (in case it is not registered to it)
In first case, you answer them directly. The second type of communication abounds greatly, which is that some numbers call you and then we respond to hear a human voice, but unfortunately we receive voices from robots.
These robots tell you that your number may be closed for emergency circumstances or bank accounts, and then it requires you to enter some data, and this is only a method developed by hackers with high professionalism to access some sensitive data so that they can reach their will and penetrate your bank account and other details.
For this reason, companies seek to block these calls, most notably T-Mobile, which announced the launch of the Scam firewall, which is a free tool that blocks automated calls to protect you from the various fraudulent methods that hackers use to access your data.
As well as this way:
- Apple added a feature in the iOS 13 update to block unidentified numbers
- As well as Google in the Android system by using the Google Assistant, and this mechanism is applied in the Android 11 update.
The steps to block automatic calls at once
According to the FCC( Federal Communications Commission), we provide you with the following some important steps that you must follow in order to reduce the risk of these calls, as follows:
1 Not answering the blocked or anonymous numbers
2 Not answering calls from numbers you do not know
3 Do not think that a local call is actually taking place because he is staying in your country you might get confused
4 Do not answer any questions that may be answered with the word (Yes)
5 In the event that someone from a company with the letters XYZ calls you, put the call on hold and check their official website
6 In case you answer a call and hear a recording like hello, can you hear me and then hang up immediately.
Please follow the same above steps as well in case you are asked to enter numbers by clicking on the call buttons.
Inquire about your network provider.
There are some applications that let you see your telecommunications network provider for these numbers, such as:
1- Hiya
It is a free application available for both Android and iPhone, and it is one of the successful applications in blocking automatic calls.
Other than this more apps are available such as:
2• AT&T's Call Protect
3• Nomorobo Robocall Blocking
4• Verizon's Call Filter
5• T-Mobile's Scam Shield
Some of these applications are free, and some are paid, and it is certain because they provide you with access to very sensitive data.
Use external applications
In case that none of the top applications can provide all the different information about the telecom network provider for this number and some other information. In this case, you have to touch on the use of other external applications.
