Does public mobile have scam protection button

Not sure what it's called but is it possible to set up a thing where if someone calls you, they have to press a number and then it'll call ur cell to deter those auto scam calls from bots

Example my friend calls me and there's a prompt telling her "press 4 to continue" and she pressed 4 on her phone and then it'll actually call me

My Google Pixel 7 has call screening where if it is a suspicious number I can have it read out a message where hte caller has to say why they are calling and it displays it so I can decide if I want to answer the call

That sounds great so I could screen all the spam calls from China. Is this feature available for iPhones?

@ShawnC13 Yup, I love that feature on my Pixel. Most of the scammers don't bother once the screening kicks in. Every once in a while it's a legit call and I'll answer after they start the transcript.

That feature is called call control.  It is not offered by Public mobile unfortunately.  It is offered by higher tier companies like Telus and Koodo.
