Public Mobile is a no-frills carrier and does not offer a "Call Control" feature like its parent company, TELUS, or its sister brand, Koodo. This means you must rely on your phone's built-in settings and external services to manage spam.
iPhone - Go to Settings, Phone and toggle on Silence Unknown Callers. This sends any number not in your contacts or recent outgoing calls directly to voicemail.
Android (Pixel/Google Phone App), Open the Phone app, tap the three dots (Settings), and select Caller ID & spam. Toggle on Filter spam calls to prevent suspected spam from ringing.
Samsung: Open the Phone app, tap the three dots, and select Settings, Caller ID and spam protection to enable the "Hiya"-powered filter.
You can change your phone number directly in your Public Mobile account. This is often a last resort if spam calls become unmanageable, but it’s important to know the limitations and steps first.
