Does Public Pobile have a function that can be turned on to require the caller to press a button for call to go through, this preventing robo calls ?

@WD27 no they do not. You have to block numbers yourself in your phone settings.

Koodo has this feature.

that is Call Protect. The feature only available with Koodo or Telus. PM is a no frills service provider and only provide basic services, no fancy features like that

@WD27 No they don't.

I used that Call Protect feature at Koodo and it worked for 3-4 days only. Then it stopped for no reason.

When I contacted Koodo, they couldn't figure out why it stopped.🤔

No. No extra features at PM. just plan phone/sms and data.
No WIFI calling, no blocking spam calls, nothing.
