Long Distant Calls

I keep getting long distance calls from Russia on my phone. Over 20 in the last couple of hours.

@Elmer sorry, there is no way PM can block those incoming calls. Just like letter mail, Canada post cannot do anything if some people keep mailing you letters 🙂

But, you can use your device setting to block the calls. if it is from specific number, block it

If it is from many different numbers, you might want to set the phone to Silent unknown callers, it will silent those caller with no id or those not on your contact list

@Elmer That's odd but spam calls seem to be able to come in from anywhere. The good thing you won't be charged for incoming calls although if you're on a plan with limited minutes (discontinued $10 now $13 plan), then it might deduct airtime, but otherwise you can block the numbers and, hopefully, eventually they'll move onto another number.

Set up to only allow calls from numbers in your contacts list. It works.
