Is Call Control feature accessible through PM yet?

I’m quite discouraged about PM over the last week because there’s no feature available yet to my knowledge, like Call Control. As both Telus and Koodo have this option and PM is part of Telus, I don’t understand why this company doesn’t get it. Everyday, I receive at least 15 spam calls from various numbers supposedly in Pakistan, about an Amazon account charge for an iPhone that I never purchased. I don’t answer these calls anymore and blocking these numbers doesn’t work, as the spammers simply use another number to call from, sometimes walking me up in the early morning! Any suggestions welcome please, as I’m very frustrated!

No not yet. There are apps you can download to block spammed but I dont know how effective they are. And most of the time, you have to do too much stuff to the app for it to work.

@edwards2

Public mobile is the lowest tier company of the Telus group of companies. Lower cost, no frills DIY type of mobile company. So no call control, no Wifi calling and international roaming (besides US and Mexico). Also, no Live customer service (ie. live chat or call centre). These are the major disadvantages compared to Koodo and Telus.

You could change your phone number, but the spammers can also call that number. Set up do not disturb function until you wake up. Only let people on your contact list to call you at anytime. Just keep blocking the phone number. Put your number on the do no call list website for Canada.
