Block Spoofed Calls

umnikke8 — Mon, 15 Aug 2022 21:22:22 GMT

Can I block calls with spoofed caller ID? STIR/SHAKEN is supposed to be implemented. The Telus FAQ seems to indicate that no device will even display the results. Can I opt-in to blocking spoofed calls?

@umnikke8

yes you can blocked but them use each time a differenet number to call.

ignore and delete them and never call back to number you don't know.

@umnikke8 it is very hard to block that kind of call usually they move on after a day or two we all get them unfortunately

Public Mobile cannot do this @umnikke8 .

If any blocking, it must be done on a device level. But when numbers are spoofed, you may not really want that particular number blocked on your device.
